Freddie's Dead Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Wow. Mike Tomlin is the last guy I would have expected to pick up this POS. KW better straighten up and fly right, or he's gonna have a short stay in the 'burgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) His oldest brother Vince plays for LB Steelers. Just got an extension actually. Probably think he might be a good influence having him there to keep him in line, as he hadn't had any issues I'm aware of. But yeah, Steelers are the all-weed team now Edited October 12, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW better straighten up and fly right, or he's gonna have a short stay in the 'burgh. Really? They may have MORE issues off the field than the Bills (Bryant, Bell, Blount when he was there, etc..)

26CornerBlitz Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 You can still sign him at any point if I understand this correctly. If another team comes calling, he can choose to stay or their Practice Squad or the Steelers can sign him to their active roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know that. Are there stats on how many PS guys pass on a chance to play elsewhere to stay on the taxi squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't happen very often. IIRC, Matt Simms chose to stay on another teams' Practice Squad (ATL?) last season instead of coming to the Bills' 53.

Big difference in $$ and benefits. Happens occasionally with a skill player like a QB where he feels he's being developed where he is, but would just be a temporary fill-in on the 53-man for a different team. Occasionally happens for a team that's a big winner (Seahawks couple years ago) vs. a bad team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just didn't want to die, can't blame him. Edited October 12, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
