I'd be interested in knowing if these players are allowed to shop there services to other teams. I cant see why not. I also wonder if there will be any uproar over this. I can only imagone what people would say if it was Belichick doing it. How he is trying to cheat these players out of finding employment eith other teams and such. Either way, it would be looked upon negatively. I doubt the same will be done on the Steelers.

PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers have cut their roster to the 53-man limit, but they aren't revealing which players they released.
Saying he didn't want other NFL teams to learn in advance who was let go, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said the final cuts won't be announced until Saturday, when all NFL teams must firm up their rosters.
Among those apparently cut Friday were fullback Carey Davis, who didn't play in Thursday night's preseason game against the Carolina Panthers; former Penn State center A.Q. Shipley, a seventh-round draft pick; and linebacker Bruce Davis, a third-round pick last year. Davis started 11 games for the Steelers the last two seasons.
One possible reason for the secrecy is that the Steelers might be trying to slide running back Isaac Redman from the active roster to the practice squad. Redman, an undrafted rookie from Bowie State, was the surprise star of training camp and scored three of the Steelers' five rushing touchdowns during the preseason.
The Steelers made their cuts one day earlier than most teams because they open the season Thursday night at home against the Tennessee Titans
