Steelers Did Zach Mettenberger A Favor With Early Release

Yesterday morning, I posited the question of whether or not Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Zach Mettenberger would actually make it with the team to training camp this year, something that he really didn’t get to experience last year in his first season with the team because they added him through the waiver wire so late in the process. He didn’t even participate in the preseason.

Mettenberger’s story ended after about eight months after the team released him yesterday just a couple of days—and the first business day—after using their fourth-round draft pick on Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs.
