Steelers sign Smith to a five-year deal

excerpt:

It's possible the Steelers will release Porter before he is due his $1 million roster bonus March 6, which would create $5 million in salary cap room. If they decide to release him, it could come Friday.

doubtful, i think he'll get something restructured....if they did let him go they better plan on drafting anthony spencer this year

That will be very interesting, he loved COwher and may want out of his contract becomes and issue...

bigboy's right he loved Cowher, remember when he kissed him? But i don't think he would want out of his contract just because he left. However, if they just release him they better have a replacement in mind. Porter was a huge part of that defense.

He is, but he came back into camp last year when he was going to hold out because he talked to Cowher. With out him there what gives? Either the teams wants him to take a cut or he holds out?

James harrison is a beast and can replace him...im worried about haggans, i thought he'd be the odd man out in this

we need to draft anthony spencer to fill the void at OLB, hes an animal......or at the very least jarvis moss but i'd rather have spencer
