    The Steelers have traded Brad Wing to the Giants for a late round draft pick.

    *ETA- It's a conditional 7th round pick.

    I guess they are trying to get picks back

    I like it because it shows they are willing to " spread their wings" lol

    Brad wing has been traded to the giants for a late round pick. I'm guessing a sixth to make up for scobee

    I guess Tomlin's statement on Punter decision being difficult has been resolved.

    so..new punter (also means new holder), new kicker ...and old snapper with the 3rd most seniority on the team...no worries...

    Happiest moments from last nights game is seeing Scobee knock it out the endzone on his kickoffs....

    I figured they were going to cut Wing anyway. At least they got something out of him. Good job front office.

    Exactly, Berry beat Wing out anyway! Why do the steelers have to be forced to make the right decisions. Thank you Giants for bailing us out on this one.

    Noooo!

    Wing was one of my favorites, dude is a character and a decent punter. Oh well, saw the writing on the wall with how well Berry performed this preseason. Good luck to both!

    I fail to see how they were forced. They had no one better than Wing, now they do in Berry and they even got a pick for Wing.

    Good job FO :applaud:

    I don't follow. It was "you're cut" or "you've been traded". Might as well make some calls and see if you can get something for him since you're going to part ways with him anyway.

    Excellent move by the f.o.... dumb move by the giants... any Gm with half a brain knew we would be cutting one of our punters, so why not snatch him up off the wire for free?...

    Rooneys and Mara's are family, probably throwing them a bone and a we scratch your back you scratch ours sort of thing.

    i assume it is to avoid the risk someone else more deserving puts a claim in.

    The media was saying this week the Steelers would make a trade to get back a late round pick.
