---Well don't use WE when commenting about North Texas either then ... I doubt you play for NT either.... get real.

NT and the Steelers, almost a AA-Pro relationship. I usually don't watch AFC games, but since I'm sure the Steelers will be an A or B game, I'll tune in.

This is great. Several Steelers' fans already have Cobbs penciled in at the #3 RB on the depth chart, with Staley getting the boot:

They don't give Cobbs enough credit then. In 2 weeks Cobbs will be #2 by next year they will say "Willie who?"

This is great news! Patrick is all but assured a roster spot and at least the minimum rookie salary of $225,000. Not bad!

---You may be right but I think the rookie salary is much higher now (about $400,000) . Maybe I am thinking of the NBA.

--- I wonder how he was told.... it wonder if it was the typical "report to the office and bring your playbook" ...which usually means you have cut... but this time meant he had been traded.....Would be interesting to know....
