Even though it wasn’t exactly a shock…it kind of was. The Pittsburgh Steelers announced earlier this evening that they have released tight end Ladarius Green with a failed physical designation, after doing the same with longtime long snapper Greg Warren.
It’s not as though there were no warning signs. They were amply present before the Steelers ever signed him to the four-year, $20 million contract last season, of which he will have earned $6 million, pending any injury protection that might factor in over the next two years.
Green had three documented concussions over the course of his four-year career with the Chargers, though he only missed two games combined through all three.
