Sad to see one of my favorite players go, but I think it had to be done.... he was decent last year, but it looked like he did lose a bit of a step, and he wanted a long-term, high money deal... which we couldn't give him. He'll always be a life-time Steeler in my book though for his ferocious leadership and the fire he displayed on our 2005 run to the SuperBowl.
Here's to Porter signing into a great situation and re-establishing himself as one of the game's best OLB's.

J Porter sure did help ease the sting of Greg Lloyd leaving years ago. I wonder who will fill his cleats now? I understand the business, but I hate that this move made good business sense.
It is getting harder each day to recognize the Steelers. I have no idea of what to expect for next season.

Does Harrison have the skills to fill the spot?He has looked good in his replacement stint for Haggens.
A lot of Steelers fans think Harrison can do it, but I have a lot of doubt. He's one of those high motor players who's great off the bench and relies off of emotion, but really doesn't have the proper skill set -physical or mental- to be a good starter. I'd like to see the team find a replacement starter in the draft.

IF he can stay healthy, I believe he can.

As a Ravens fan, I hate Joey Porter.
That being said, I thought he was a huge factor in the Super Bowl win. So much attention is always paid to his hype, that people overlooked how well he played.
But he looked really bad in 2006. I don't know if he's done, or if he just had post-Super Bowl syndrome and can bounce back.
I'm not convinced Harrison is the answer. I thought he was a guy that benefitted from getting to play in spots that suited him, but will be hard-pressed to sustain productivity as an every down player.

Harrison filled in admirably for Porter after Joey was shot. He is a decent but I expect the Steelers to select a LB early in the draft, possibly their 1st pick.

Cincy is looking for LBs. He would love to get back at Pitt for giving him the axe.

I could see that.What about his former coaches (now in Arizona) giving his agent a call?

Of course. If the Steelers cut someone, the Jets are obliged to make an offer. If history is any guide, they'll be competing with New England and Seattle.Little Big Head said:

Agreed, Joey handled it with class.It should be interesting to hear the banter the week his new team plays the Steelers.Actually, he handled it very well. No badmouthing of the organization--"I know it was a business decision and they did it the right way." ClipMaybe Joey can run his mouth about that..hey, they no longer want you.
