Go to the transactions page of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ website and click on the dropdown menu to access the transactions for 2016. Do an in-page search for the name Al-Hajj Shabazz and you will come up with 10 hits for the calendar year. He has had a serpentine journey in his time with the Steelers, which came to a presumed end yesterday when they released him.
Part of that journey included a significant detour when he was claimed off waivers at one point by the Houston Texans, spending about two weeks with them while they dealt with injury issues before being released again.
