The writing’s on the wall for Pittsburgh Steelers RT Chukwuma Okorafor. With a roster bonus due in March the team will almost certainly decline, Okorafor has played his final down in Pittsburgh. And really, his final snaps as a starter came weeks ago. Benched following the team’s Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars for reportedly saying something that put him in Mike Tomlin’s doghouse, Okorafor lost out to rookie RT Broderick Jones the rest of the day, only occasionally appearing as a tackle-eligible.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, one day after the Steelers’ season came to an end, Okorafor expressed regret for re-signing with the Steelers.
