If I understand you, you are suggesting that they simply cut him in mid-season. That would accomplish nothing. They'd still have to pay him, and that would leave him unavailable to us if Willie Colon got hurt. Besides, he's too valuable as a 4th tight end for us to cut him. ;-) Shawn,

It is good to know that someone other than my mom is actually reading my blog. I agree with you on Max. He is one of the biggest tackles in the league. He started for us when we won the Superbowl. It is hard to believe that he is totally useless now. I've heard that Willie Colon is a natural guard, not a tackle. If that's the case, why hasn't the team tried moving him to guard and inserting Max at Tackle? Is the team saying that even a guy who is a "natural guard" is better than our $7 million tackle? One thing that seems to be certain is that Max Starks will not be resigned next year. Thanks for the compliment. It is good to know that someone other than my mom is actually reading my blog.

One caution remember Keydrick Vincent we let him go because he wasn't bright enough. Check out his history he is still in the NFL (althought with his 5th different team) but he is still playing.

Better question, why is he still on the team? Better yet, why did we (the Steeler's front office) dish out this kind of money for this guy? He's started in this league before, he's one of the biggest players in the league, and he's one of the highest paid BACK-UPS in the league. What is going on here? When we need offensive lineman the most, why hasn't this cat stepped up? Does anybody have an answer? I'm interested (and so is the rest of the Steeler nation) in hearing it. Great article by the way. WTF! Why is this guy not playing? Better question, why is he still on the team?
