Home Steelers 2016 Season Potential Cuts the Steelers Could Have Eyes For

Potential Cuts the Steelers Could Have Eyes For

by Chris Nicolaou

The Steelers need some help at a few positions and can take advantage of the waiver wire if they choose to. Last season, they claimed Ross Cockrell off of waivers and now he is their starting cornerback. Here is a short list of players who MAY get cut who the Steelers could and should have interest in. We’ll see if these players actually get cut, and if the Steelers actually will have legitimate interest in them.
Tight End:

Jace Amaro

AJ Derby

Dan Vitale

Amaro and Derby are more pass catching tight ends, while Vitale can give you snaps at H-back, tight end and he has special teams value. As of right now, Xavier Grimble is expendable.

Cornerback:

Alex Carter

Darryl Roberts

Eric Rowe

DeAndre Elliot

Sterling Moore

The Steelers had interest in Moore last offseason, he can contribute in the slot. The Steelers have had previous interest in Carter, Roberts, Elliot and Rowe, who all play outside.

Offensive Guard:

Jamil Douglas

A versatile guy who can play any position on the offensive line.  An upgrade to Chris Hubbard.

Outside Linebacker:

Marcus Rush

If Rush is cut, he could be stashed on the practice squad. He has had a great preseason thus far.

Safety:

Deshazor Everett

Everett has had a good preseason and is a versatile safety. The Steelers are super thin at the position right now, too.
