Matt Spaeth Deemed Likeliest Veteran Steelers Player To Not Make 2016 Roster

In a recent article on ESPN.com, the site’s NFL Nation reporters were each asked to select one veteran who might not make the 2016 roster of the team they cover. Jeremy Fowler, who covers the Pittsburgh Steelers for the site, chose tight Matt Spaeth and here’s what he had to say regarding his choice:

The Steelers’ roster is pretty well-defined. There aren’t many obvious roster casualties. After blocking for the Steelers for seven of his nine NFL seasons, Spaeth might be nearing the end. The Steelers have two primary options with Ladarius Green and Jesse James, plus they just signed David Johnson, who’s mostly a blocker, and they like former USC standout Xavier Grimble as a fringe roster player.
