"James Farrior has been a rock for the Steelers but the Turk takes no prisoners-he's gone" Cindrich said in a Twitter post.

Earlier this week, the Steelers informed wide receiver Hines Ward and defensive end Aaron Smith that they would be released, and guard Chris Kemoeatu was cut, according to multiple reports.

Farrior, a 15-year veteran, has spent the past 10 seasons with the Steelers and five more with the New York Jets.

He was credited last season with 78 tackles, including two sacks, in 14 games. That marked a sharp decline from the 109 tackles Farrior recorded the previous season, with six sacks.

Farrior, 37, has 1,415 tackles, including 35½ sacks, 11 fumble recoveries and 11 interceptions in his career.

No. Just no.

[Three7s]

Isn't he older than Jones?

[Bowser]

Steelers are completely hosed with the cap. Teams are going to raid them for the players Pitt can't afford (see: Mike Wallace).

And no, I don't want Farrior near this team.

he could come in and coach up our young LBers.

I've always wanted my own Cutting Farrior. I wonder if Steeler would be interested in loaning his to me?

I just keep seeing Kendrel Bell.

Farrior is a good player, but old, lets not make this a place for him to collect his last paycheck.

Never hurts to ask. Maybe you should give them a call!

precisely. Ropes need to be shown.

Standard CP response: "He's better than what we have, bring him in for a look."

You got some steel needing separation in certain area's?

[DMAC]

Our LB corp is solid.

[pr_capone]

[morphius]

I'm guessing from the stats decline he has hit the age wall, no thanks.

[Bowser]

I had no idea he was 37. Nice career.

This, I f'ing hate the Steelers, but they know what they are doing in this regard.

[Okie_Apparition]

Sounds like something Elway could use

[Easy 6]

A big no to all of the steeler casualties.

All were cut for good reason.
