Steelers 53-man roster almost exactly what many fans were hoping for

Steelers fans around the nation were holding their breath on Saturday as Pittsburgh’s front office worked on cutting over 40 percent of their roster to get down to just 53 players.

Seemingly every year, there are moves that we don’t agree with. While there were a few surprise cuts, the Steelers fan base seemed to be well pleased with most of their decisions.

Keeping Tuzar Skipper was priority number one for any Steelers fan who watched the undrafted rookie’s dominant performances this preseason. Pittsburgh rarely keeps more than four outside linebackers on the roster, and 21-year old standout, Ola Adeniyi, had done more than enough to earn a spot on the 53.
