David DeCastro Cut by Steelers

Surprise surprise

Has his play declined at all?  Why the release?

 

He seems like he would be a minor upgrade to Glow if we really wanted to go all in on making this the best OL in the NFL.  But my interest in him is somewhat low because guard really isn't a need right now and he's on the wrong side of 30.

This is a real thinker. They had a very good OL and they've absolutely demolished it now. If our line wasn't already so good I'd probably be interested in signing him.

His play hasn’t declined too much.   I think he was just in the 2020 Pro Bowl. 
 

But…. 
 

It’s said he has a bad ankle.  He may be considering retirement.    I wonder if he’d need a year off to heal, and maybe we’d be interested in 2022 if/when we move on from Glowinski?

 

That said, I think Reed and Pinter would be the front runners to replace Glow.  Maybe even Holden?  
 

The grind of the roster never ends.

I also really like Reed and Pinter, Reed started 14 games last season and has improved every year in the league coming from a small school as more a track and field type guy (Amazing shot putter). Pinter has versatility and good technique just needs to keep improving strength and growing into his body. I think we are in very good shape when we move on from Glow.

The Steeler's had a bad OL last year, to release him says they think he's done. Maybe he has deeper injuries than we know..

This might be something to re-consider if Nelson has to sit for an extended period of time.
