Final Roster Set

The Steelers made their final five cuts to get under the mandatory 53 player limit, and some are rather shocking. The Steelers cut Crezdon Butler, Tony Hills, John Gilmore, Jeremy Kapinos and Jarrett Crittenton.

I am rather surprised by Butler and Hills being let go of the five. The Steelers are already thin at the offensive line spot and have a huge lack of talent at cornerback. Hills lost his starting job to Doug Legursky in the final preseason game citing the lack of understanding at the position; I figured they would just bench him instead of releasing him though.

These final cuts bring the Steelers totals to three quarterbacks, four running backs, three tight ends, six wide receivers, nine offensive linemen, seven defensive linemen, eight linebackers, 10 defensive backs, one kicker, one punter and one long snapper.
