wish him luck, but I don't think he's going to make it in the NFL, whether it's mind problems or knee injury that truly kept him from developing

End of an error.

True. I think Sweed had one game where he caught a ball.

Steelers doing some spring cleaning.

Let's see who can get to fill the CB position. Who knows, we may be wishing we had Allen back (boy I hope not)

Sweed had a crushing block against the Ravens, so I forgive him for being a bust.

true but I'll always remember him in that game for the "I missed another catch let me pretend im hurt"

Best of luck Cortez. I was kind of hoping there was a story of redemption somewhere in there but it just wasn't happening. I hope he gets another shot and makes the most of it.

Yeah, this totally sucks. He seemed to make plenty of plays as a backup. Hate that this was a swing-and-a-miss.

Good luck to him. Hope he can get on a team that can let him to do so.

I was remembering that too...that hit was brutal, but it came after he dropped a long pass/sure TD and then he laid on the ground faking injury
