Steelers released LB Joey Porter.
Classic lede by Ed Bouchette: "The Steelers today released linebacker Joey Porter, their best overall defensive player in the 21st century whose play helped win them a Super Bowl 13 months ago." We can't argue, but Porter wasn't particularly good in 2006, complained about his contract, and was due $5 million this year. He also may not fit in Mike Tomlin's defense, which will segue to more 4-3 and Tampa 2 schemes.
