| Monday, August 15, 2011 By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Jerricho Cotchery was tired of being passed over when the New York Jets kept bringing in former Steelers receivers such as Santonio Holmes and Plaxico Burress. At 29, he felt he had no future with the team that had its Super Bowl hopes dashed seven months ago in the AFC championship at Heinz Field. So, even though he was scheduled to earn nearly $2 million this season with the Jets, Cotchery asked for his release and jumped to the team he always has quietly admired. And the Steelers are glad to have him. Cotchery brings experience and depth to a position loaded with young talent and gives the Steelers a fifth receiver who is proven and productive in the NFL.

If he felt underutilized or whatever in New York, how much action does he think he's going to see with Ward, Wallace, Brown, and Sanders (when he's healthy)?  _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart.

| I know. The media hypes it up as him being the number three men but really what I think it is, is the fact that the Jets didn't really let him be the one or two after trading for Edwards and Holmes and then signing Plax. That's my take on it... but who really knows. _________________  (Big thanks to Wally for hooking me up with a great sig.) "I am proud to be a Steeler, no doubt about it.
