I don’t have the details of his contract committed to memory either, DJ. Maybe he will stay on the team next yr. I thought someone mentioned they could part ways w/o too much $ pain. But, either way, I think his days as a starter here are now over.

All about timing — and bad timing at that. Drafting one CB this year and cutting him in camp forced them to roll dice on Allen. Weren’t going to go into 2015 draft needing 2 CBs. Unfortunately, rolled snake eyes with Allen.

Same Steeler Church, different pew. Does anyone know if Bell has to serve a two game suspension “this year?”

It was a shame to see Antonio Brown’s streak of 1 game with a TD pass & 3 yards passing end.

Have no idea what cap hit will be, Jim, but cannot imagine it all comes off books. Their decision will undoubtedly be influenced by that.

If you know, let us know. Not a cap guru.

That’s a good point, Wolf. But, the alternative is them making a mistake like this w/o even consulting their HOF DC. I have a hard time believing that.

They are going to need the cap space, though. If he doesn’t improve dramatically, I think he’s gone. If he truly is the worst (or close to it) CB in the NFL there’s no reason not to cut him. Nowhere to go but up.

Finally a game where Ben could show the world how good of a QB he really is.

Impression is that things going decently and LeBeau thought: “Hey, what better time to give the kid some confidence?” Bad timing.
.
By all rights, he should be first player ever to sign $24 + mill contract and get cut same year. But Steelers won’t want that ignominy.

Well then it’s a mystery. LeBeaus been around too long to not be able to see this guy’s a disaster.
