Steelers dump Alameda Ta’amu
I know this guy is an idiot, but it doesn't look like he will be suspended by the league, and he is a good run stuffing NT, which is something that the Ravens definately need. I would be fine with the Ravens claiming him off waivers if he is still available when their turn comes around.

Re: Steelers dump Alameda Ta’amu
Why not? This dude is an immature 22 year old, but is a 6'3" 348 lbs NT. He is one of the players I wanted the Ravens to draft this year, and was upset that the Steelers got him. He had an incredibly bad night, but I haven't heard of other character concerns regarding him. I am tired of watching Cody amd Kemo get consistently pushed 5-7 yards off the line of scrimmage, which has been a huge factor in the Ravens poor run defense. He was a 4th round pick, so we aren't talking about big money here, and since he was cut mid-season, none of his salary for this year is gaurenteed for the team that picks him up. If the Ravens can't get through to him, then cut him.

Re: Steelers dump Alameda Ta’amu
Maybe I should have made myself more clear, I wouldn't be mad if the Ravens signed him but the Ravens aren't the only team who needs a DT/NT. Second of all their 7-2 record hurts their chances since Ta'amu would have to pass through waivers (waiver line starts from worst to first), no point in getting your hopes up.

Re: Steelers dump Alameda Ta’amu
Haha, wasn't this the guy supposed to be the future dominating NT and future replacement of Casey Hampton, just because he was projected as a first/second round and went in the 4th? Funny how tings turn out.
I actually agree with dirt, I really liked the guy before the draft, and was surprised my self he fell to the 4th round, if he's available for us, I would take a chance on him and claim him, because our Dline needs major help, and this is a big physical guy who could stop the run pretty well in college. I just can't see him clearing waivers, and if he does, there is obviously a significant reason that we're maybe not aware of. I'm still pretty surprised he was waived like that, especially considering the chances we've given Kindle up until now.
