Nine-year veteran quarterback Tommy Maddox, who resurrected his NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers but lost his starting job to then-rookie Ben Roethlisberger in 2004, was released on Friday, as the Super Bowl XL champions continued to make moves to get under the 2006 salary cap.

The two transactions, which created $1.585 million in additional cap space, had been anticipated since the end of the season. Out of the game for five seasons (1996-2000), Maddox signed with the Steelers in 2001 as a free agent, following stints in the Arena Football League and the short-lived XFL. He won the starting job a year later and between 2002-2003, started 27 games, including all contests in '03. In those two seasons, he completed 532 of 896 passes for 6,250 yards, with 38 touchdown passes and 33 interceptions. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2352987

Re: Steelers pare veterans QB Maddox, CB Williams

that would be a good pickup for the bills. holcomb starting, maddox as the 2nd string backup, and losman as the 3rd stringer. that way if holcomb goes down,there is atleast a somewhat decent backup(maddox) ready to come in and give SOME hope

You are nuts. I'd take Losman over Maddox any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
