Steelers Free Agency Report: Gay weighing four options, close to decision
GAY CLOSE TO DECISION Steelers cornerback William Gay is getting close to making a decision on his future. Gay who visited the Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos this week, tweeted tonight that he is done taking visits for now. Gay has multiple offers on the table, according to an NFL source. While the Steelers are a longshot to retain Gay, they have remained in contact with agent Jerrold Colton throughout the free agency period and have interest in resigning Gay. However, the team won’t pay much to keep him and if Gay returns to the Steelers, he’ll be leaving money on the table after making $735,000 (including signing bonus) last season on a one year deal.

Post-Green Bay Judgements: Roethlisberger delivers
Roethlisberger saves Steelers *Great players deliver in clutch situations and Ben Roethlisberger did exactly that as the Steelers franchise quarterback threw for a team record 503 yards and saved the Steelers season with a 19 yard game winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Mike Wallace as time expired.

Tuesday Practice Report: Ike Taylor and William Gay took plenty of reps with the first-team defense
By Inside Pittsburgh Sports PITTSBURGH _The mood these days in the Steelers’ locker room reflects the team’s state of affairs. “Gloomy,” tackle Willie Colon said. A four-game losing streak and a 6-6 record is obviously reason for disappointment. So, too, is the announcement from coach Mike Tomlin that he may shake up the lineup. But according to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, it’s time to move past Sunday’s embarrassing 27-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders and start focusing on getting back on track.
Steelers being exposed as losing streak reaches four
The Steelers losing streak extended to four games Sunday afternoon as the Steelers suffered yet another stunning loss, this time to the Oakland Raiders and a journeyman quarterback who didn’t have a job at the start of the regular season.

The loss puts the Steelers (6-6) in serious danger of missing playoffs, after winning the Super
Steelers title hopes will depend on a healthy Troy Polamalu
Polamalu expected to be okay The Pittsburgh Steelers received a scare Sunday afternoon when Troy Polamalu left the game after only one series in Pittsburgh’s 18-12 loss to Cincinnati. Polamalu under-went an MRI on Sunday but the Steelers received good news as the MRI went well. Polamalu is expected to only be sidelined for 1-2 weeks at the most, barring a coaches decision for Polamalu to miss further games. With the 2-7 Kansas City Chiefs on the Steelers schedule, Pittsburgh will be very cautious with Polamalu this week as he likely won’t play. When Polamalu is out of action, the Steelers are a totally different team. There is no way around it. If Polamalu’s nagging knee injury continues to be
