Steelers release DeCastro
 

Just got a notification.

We’re set on the OL, but I thought it was interesting to see him get released at this point in the offseason. May follow the center into retirement.

Nagging small injuries and age, I suppose. He wasn't very good last year.

We sign this piece of shit yet?

Bring him in for ... nah, **** it

31 years old, will be 32 when we're back in the Super Bowl next year.

Steelers have diddle on the OL and to a fault are loyal to their own... So the fact that this happened is pretty telling about DeCastro's health/fitness/value.

The Steelers are falling apart due to age. It happens.

Sounds like his ankle is ****ed...

Ben should have retired (years ago...). It's going to be UGLY for them this year. No OL, old immobile QB, and rookie RB with no running lanes.

Yep. They're going to pound Harris over and over for 3.5ypc.

From what I am hearing on XM radio they knew about Villanueva and DeCastro for awhile and started bringing in young OL.

FWIW I liked the Kendrick Green pick. Wonder if they’ll start him in DeCastro’s now vacant starting spot?

Also thought they had one of the most underrated drafts too. First 3 picks were good IMO

FYP

Barely over 30 and IIRC was pretty good at his peak. I wonder if he is one of those guys that sits a year and comes back as a journeyman for a few years, a la Wisniewski/Osemele/Long

Must have all the center's guards tackles and receivers etc.

Its sooo nice to not even have to think twice about this, and avoid the usual clamoring for every brokedick who comes down the pike
