So long Joey Porter

I can't believe the Steelers cut J. Peezy. They say it was salary cap concerns but we all know that's only part of the story. He was scheduled to get a $1 million dollar bonus and a $4 million dollar salary this year. Reports are that he wanted $2 million for his bonus and a $8 million dollar total contract. The Steelers just weren't willing to pay that.

Plus, last year, he wanted to sit out camp but reported anyway. With a little coaxing from Coach perhaps? So the Steelers didn't want new coach Mike Tomlin to have to deal with that this year. Some in management wanted to work it out, but in the end, Joey had to move on.

We'll miss you Peezy!
