    Not cut them now they will not be on opening day roster..All 3 of these guys are bad at what there new HC wants plus we drafted guys with the traits the HC likes..It would probably be better for these players if they were cut or traded now to give them a chance to make a Team..

    Why should we care about that? The Steelers should not be in the business of helping other teams or giving up assets for free. I don't think they would get much for any of them, but one of them could still make the team, or maybe bring back a small return like a seventh-round pick.

    Maybe Rodgers doesn't return, so Rudolph is their only real veteran. Maybe Allar isn't fully healthy and misses all or part of the season. Maybe Heidenreich ends up playing primarily at receiver, so the Steelers still need a third back? Maybe one of their lead backs gets hurt in training camp.

    Yes something bad could happen but if it doesn't I give them no chance to make the Team...I would be trying to trade them .

    Trading them is fine, though I don't think they will bring back much value. My issue is with this idea of letting them go so they can catch on somewhere else. No. don't that.

    I'd be OK trading both.

    No rush though.

    Try to capitalize on guys getting hurt on other teams (while keeping insurance on our team against injuries).

    My guess is that we hold on to Mason as long as we can. Unless he makes a fuss (which he hasn't been prone to doing in the past).

    You do have to feel sorry for Mason. Always the forgotten man.

    Winner this.
    Too much up in the air to worry about getting rid of guys. Just let the process work, play out, and then see. Too many things can, and will happen before the 1st game of the season, and f**k helping other teams

    I guess that's just the old Coach in me wanting players to have a chance to continue playing esp. young guys who just don't fit the new Coach... I hope we can get something for them ..

    Its not the other Teams I was thinking of it's the players and their Families ...It's clear as day that MM doesn't like Mason so if all our QB'S got hurt he would still go out and get another QB to start instead of Mason..If this is true then do the man a Favor and trade him ...I know they are trying..lol

    May have to get a Team to stock the drink machine for training camp..

    Eh. Not sure I can feel too sorry for him. He's had plenty of chances to shine and has been a bit lackluster. Nothing to really show "this guy has something special". He's a career backup and making decent money doing it. He's got a net worth that most of the general public wouldn't see in multiple lifetimes. And he's only 30.

    I’m not suggesting it but Howard might be a PS candidate

    He was a 6th and basically missed a year and has never taken an NFL snap

    It’s not like any team is going to put him on their 53

    Although I guess he could elect to go to someone else’s PS (I think)

    You can't trade what nobody wants, see 2 years ago when MR left to go to Titans.
