thesteelhurtin Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 They designated him a June 1st cut so that saves the steelers another 5.5 million. He was getting paid pretty good money and played 11 games out of the last 48. The signing of Foster pretty much ensured he was getting cut.

steelersfan Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 with his injuries, penalties, and higher contract we couldn't keep him. Sorry to see the mauler go. He gave us a discount a few years back when Chicago wanted him, I wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesteelhurtin Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yeah I hold no grudges against colon but I think I read somewhere since he moved to guard with a tackles contract he was one of the highest paid guards in the league. I actually think if he stayed healthy in a year or two he could have earned that contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
