Roster Cuts

UPDATE: Isaac Redman cleared waivers and was signed by the Steelers to their eight man practice squad.Anyone who has read my recent posts knows that I have been high on Isaac Redman. I was buoyed by his performance on Thursday against the Panthers. Surely they wouldn’t cut their leading pre-season scorer. Three pre-season touchdowns is an accomplishment for an undrafted rookie from Bowie State. Vic Redman was on his way to becoming Bowie State’s first NFL player. UPDATE: Some outlets reported he would be Bowie’s first NFL player while some say he’d be their third.

Then came the news. The Steelers were not keeping him. I’m sure they’d like to keep him for the practice roster but he has to clear waivers first. Fat chance. Redman will surely be scooped up before the practice roster is set.

This was the only cut that left me disappointed. I think he could have been a huge asset in the redzone. Of course when you have that much talent to choose from, someone will always disagree with managemnt’s choices. I just hope we don’t live to regret cutting Redman. These things sometimes have a way of coming back to haunt you.
