COBB TRADE MEANS DUCE WILL BE LOOSE?
pft.com

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Steelers have acquired rookie running back Patrick Cobbs from the Patriots for an undisclosed draft pick.

Cobbs went undrafted after playing last year at North Texas State.
His arrival likely means that either Duce Staley or rookie Cedric Humes will be dumped by the Steelers when final roster cuts are made.

Last year, the Steelers carried four tailbacks:
Staley, Willie Parker, Jerome Bettis, and Verron Haynes.
Staley was the odd man out for much of the year, placed repeatedly on the eight-player inactive list.
