Can’t say we didn’t all see this coming. He’s a good young cornerback with plus size and Arizona will be glad to have him. Should be a good signing for the Cards.
But seriously. How long is this Pittsburgh West thing going to go on? Every time the Steelers have a UFA, rumors fly everywhere about them going to Arizona. I think the Super Bowl loss to Pittsburgh made them want our players even more.
I’ve wrote before that I’m not too worried about losing McFadden because of William Gay‘s play last season and because I’m pretty sure the Steelers saw this coming for a long time. They’ll find somebody to fill in the role and the money saved will be used elsewhere.
In other news, WR Joey Galloway is visiting the Steelers. I’m all for the Stees signing a veteran reviever, but Galloway isn’t intriguing at all to me. He’s 37 years old and didn’t stay healthy at all last season. There are tons of other UFA’s out there who have at least a little upside. Galloway is only going to go down from here and thinking of offering him a contract is nuts if you ask me.
More on McFadden and departed WR Nate Washington coming later on when we look back on their careers.
