PPGThe Steelers finally cut ties with Dri Archer and replaced him with old nemesis Jacoby Jones. Archer, their third-round pick in 2014 who could not find a niche with the Steelers other than as a mediocre kickoff returner, was waived after their successful waiver claim for Jones, whom San Diego released Tuesday. Jones returned five kickoffs and four punts for touchdowns in his nine-year career, and also caught 14 touchdowns as a receiver. He spent three years with Baltimore from 2012 through 2014, making All-Pro one time. He ran back one punt and one kickoff for touchdowns against the Steelers while with the Ravens
Brilliant move here yesterday by the Steelers. Outside of lighting the combine on fire with the fastest 40 time Dri Archer hasn’t done shit. When you’re having your speederster taking a knee only a few feet into the end zone you already know you’ve got nothing.
Naturally the Steelers target the guy it took a 12th man / head coach to get down. Go ahead and grab the Steelers DST of the waiver wire right away you’re getting a ton of value and at least one return this Sunday.
