Steelers release Wilson

Steelers release Wilson

The Steelers have released veteran wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, the team announced this morning.

Wilson, who was entering his eighth NFL season, was arrested Wednesday night for hitting his former girlfriend in a Pine restaurant, and was charged by police with simple assault, harrassment and disorderly conduct.

In January, the woman, Lindsey Paulat, 26, of Fawn, was involved in a lengthy armed standoff at Wilson's home, police said.

Wilson signed with the Steelers in March 2005 as an unrestricted free agent from the San Francisco 49ers. In three seasons with the Steelers Wilson caught 81 passes for 1,162 yards and two touchdowns.

Nothing gained, nothing lost here. Just hope Madden's recent articles about the Steelers being as loaded with criminals as the Bengals didn't have any impact on this.
