    King is a solid veteran and former first team All-Pro. He burned us a few years ago with a 75 yard punt return for a TD in a game we lost by 3 points. This probably means so long to James Pierre.

    or one of the punters. unless danny smith is going to the two punter system so the rushing team doesn't know which punter will kick. put two punters back there and they won't know which will be receiving the snap. ground breaking stuff by bubble gum boy. :cool:

    So Khan 'unofficially' traded Green to Houston for Desmond King and a 2025 6th Round Pick. Unbelievable fleece by the Khan Artist.

    He was a stud at Iowa. Hopefully he's still got something left.

    Pierre will be cut I'm guessing. They will then trade a punter and sign a back up center. Then khan took care of everything.

    We have 2 slot corners already. Need someone to play outside.

    Maybe to have some cap saving or he did not fit with their scheme? I don't know but one thing is sure,it was considered as a surprise cut in Houston

    really confusing is the dual PK holder system. Groundbreaking in its approach, which holder to you try and block, be careful because you may get hit with a penalty for slamming into the wrong holder.

    I'd feel better, but they may go with what they have and bring back Muse or Kwiakoski if one or both clear waivers. Then again possible PS for all of the above and bring Gentry back, lol.

    King didn't make the roster because of the other defensive backs. The Texans have a ton of young guys in their secondary, and they want to keep it young or younger so that they can develop talent, whereas King has already hit his ceiling. King is a surprise cut because of the veteran presence he has, along with his versatility. - Justin Churchill, A to Z Sports Houston

    Agree. If Pierre is on the field that means the Steelers aren't a solid unit.
