LeGarrette Blount released by Steelers
After the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Tennessee Titans on Monday night, a report surfaced indicating that some of the Steelers players wanted LeGarrette Blount to be released because of his poor attitude. They have already gotten their wish.
The Steelers waived Blount on Tuesday.
As you might expect, the Steelers were not pleased with Blount’s decision to leave the field before the conclusion of Monday night’s game. The veteran running back was reportedly upset after he did not touch the ball once.
Blount’s frustration was completely self-serving, as Le’Veon Bell rushed 33 times for 204 yards and a touchdown. No team would take the ball out of the hands of a player who was running like Bell ran against Tennessee, but Blount obviously didn’t care about the team.
As LB noted, Blount has been described as an “internal problem” for the Steelers for at least a month. He is close friends with Bell and even got arrested with him for weed possession over the summer, but their friendship wasn’t enough to keep Blount content.
