Definitaly DeShea Townsend. The guy is a young upcoming star and needs to be on the team. Cut the old people like Frank the Tank

summers is getting cut because he sucks
he didnt live up to his nickname

I dont see Deshea going honestly. He played really well last year, won a game for crying out loud.

Big snack is gone at the end of the year. Ziggy isnt ready, and I dont think Hoke is a full time option.

McDonald I could see going, with as well as Wallace and Sweed have played. Makes room for Logan.

But I think its Frank the Tank. Redman has outshined him. I’d rather see Carey Davis go, and let Frank try to be our FB and we can groom him. But I dont see that happening.

The only guy getting cut on that list is Frank Summers and I don’t see why it is a suprise. Late round draft picks get cut all of the time. Summers is no different and it would be surprising if he ever has a legitimate role for an NFL team.

I’m wondering if the team is still trying to get something done with him on that before the season starts or if they’re just going to franchise him next year?

As far as Mendenahll, he hasn’t lived up to his press credentials yet, but the guy has only played a couple of NFL regular season games. I’d like to see how he does for an entire year before I pass any judgement. But I will say he needs to run with more power to be his size.

1. Townsend is not going anywhere, his experience and leadership way too valuable.

2. Redman. My thought is definitely keep the kid, not only has he earned it but will help
 for him to have a years worth of experience, if we don’t re-sign FWP next year..

3. Mendy- I agree with Len. I do hope he turns it around but I have seen very little indication he will. He does have some skill, but I seen nothing to warrant a 1st round pick.
   The RB situation will get interesting…do we resign FWP? At what price? If Mendy doesn’t progress do we give FWP more money? Can Redman keep progressing and in effect, do the job Mendy was drafted for? If we let Willie walk, are we comfortable with MM, Mendy, Redman and possibly a draft pick to handle RB position?

  As a side note, I would be in favor of signing FWP but only to a cap friendly contract. If he starts to get higher offers, I say let him go (although I do like him). To me, it will a classic case of a guy leaving the Steelers and never really doing much with the remainder of his career.

4. Cuts are tough this year, but I think Summers goes.

This only mentions a few, but here you go:

I think it was a mistake to cut Redman…who handles short yardage, Mendy? yikes…

I’m guessing. If that’s the case, you can only tip your cap to Foster. Lolley said they had R. Foster playing LT the other night against the Panthers and that he did fine.

I wouldn’t lose any sleep over the Redman cut. He’ll probably make it to the practice squad. There will be veteran RBs out there who have put up some numbers in this league that will be cut this weekend. Teams will consider all of those before picking up a rookie free agent like Redman who was only offered a free agent contract by the Steelers and none of the other 31 teams.
This might mean that Tank makes it. We’ll see shortly.
