Fits and/or Starts
According to the Philadelphia Enquirer, LeCharles Bentley, the free-agent center from the Saints, is waiting for free agency to begin so that he can sign with the Eagles. Bentley would displace, I presume, Hank Fraley, who has served the Eagles well after being cut by the Steelers.
Bentley was on the Steelers' wish list, and his acquisition would have made many things possible for the Steelers. But the Steelers are cash-strapped right now and staring down the barrel of last year's cap number. So cash-strapped are the Steelers that they cut Russell Stuvaints, back-up safety and special teamer, to save a couple hundred grand. Stuvaints is hurt, which means that he can file a grievance against the team if he isn't re-signed.
Reports are out now that the Duce Staley has avoided becoming a cap casualty by restructuring his contract. The Steelers are shooting for similar agreements with Chukky Okobi and Jeff Hartings.
It should be in interesting weekend.
