Steelers Cut Antwaan Randle-El, Max Starks

Well we knew this was going to get interesting. The Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed Ike Taylor yesterday. Today they cut veterans Max Starks and Antwaan Randle-El.

I support both moves considering that both players are getting old and make way too much money. Starks,29, was due to make $5.14 million this season, and only played in seven games last year because of a neck injury. Starks was the started at both left and right tackle for The Steelers during two Super Bowl runs. Starks was solid, but was overpaid drastically.

Randle-El, 31, is overrated. There I said it. Especially at $2million a year. Unless he's being used in some gadget play, I have no use for the guy. He caught 22 passes last year and caught one pass in the playoffs. I guess "yinz" will always be able to remember that throw in Super Bowl XL.

Now the Steelers have a lot more room to work with when it comes to the salary cap. Reports are that they're trying to get Flozell Adams and Aaron Smith to take pay cuts. The Steelers are also working on signing Willie Colon and Jonathan Scott to new deals.

Perhaps the biggest thing that could come out of this would be a possible return of Plaxico Burress to the Black and Gold.
