Whoa!! Dixon can take over??? It would be nice to have a backup who understands our playbook. Leave Leftwich right where he is. And leave Batch alone. Girl needs a lil eye candy … nice beard, Charlie ;)

Rework Smith, and Ward’s contracts. Cut Batch, Leftwich (Dixon can take over), cut Foote, and McFadden, then make a play for Joseph or Clements.

I was suprized to see Max let go, but I guess they need cap room. Randle El contributed a lot for the Steelers over the years.

Go Steelers!

Good Luck 82!

He still knows how to step up when he’s needed … like on short-yardage and red-zone plays. And to block.

As for cutting him … maybe you guys should have watched a little more of Dancing With the Stars. They did a little tribute to him on the show and Art II, Tomlin, Cowher, Polamalu all taped segments praising him and his value to the team. If they thought he needed to go, they’d let him retire.

Cut Hines … dude, you are a jerk.

And I’ll always remember Randle El for being a playmaker in the run to SBXL. Thanks for the memories. Glad you got to come home for a while. Best of luck wherever you land!

He had four 100 yard games and 59 catches for 755 yards. He only counts $4 million against the cap, which is less than Plax is offered from the G-men – this for a person who just spent two years in jail.

Yeah, Hines isn’t as fast as he used to be, but in ’09 he had 95 catches for 1167 yards.

I think he still has some gas left in the tank.

Little Webster, mam & George! He looks like a tall Emmanuel Lewis! hahaha

You dont ever want to talk about a guy like Hines in a negative way because he has done so much for our team. Like him or hate him he think hes done more than enough to gain a ton of respect around the NFL. But im sorry…. i almost puked in my own hands when i watched him crying on Dancing with the stars. I mean…pull yourself together man. Are you a football player or a fairy dancer? And Hines has lost a step…well a few. HE IS SOOOOO slowwwww. It just erks me so bad. Hines is good for these young guys though so its definatley a positive for us and he isnt a total waste of cap room.

Steeler Nation wish him the best

The guy WAS a great but has lost more than a few steps. This would free up Cap Money to sign Plex. Plex would give Ben his first tall receiver and improve the Steelers abysmal red zone offense

He has actually salvaged a fairly decent career for being a converted college QB. I’m sure someone will pick him up on a short term deal.
