The Pittsburgh Steelers were surprisingly on the transactions list yesterday, not something that can be often said of the typically staid organization, particularly as it relates to making in-season moves by bringing in outside players for reasons other than injury.
That move was of course the acquisition of veteran return man Jacoby Jones, who will no doubt assume the role of the Steelers’ primary kick returner come Sunday, and perhaps eventually take some if not all punt returns as the season progresses.
The aspect of the move that most people who follow the team are more interesting in, however, is the roster spot that Jones is displacing, because in order to make room for the nine-year veteran, the Steelers released wide receiver/running back Dri Archer.
