Player Notes

June 23, 2009
According to ProFootballTalk.com, Fernando Bryant has decided to retire from the NFL. Bryant played five season with the Jaguars and four with the Lions, and finished up his career with the Patriots in the 2008 preseason before being cut and signing with the Steelers.

Our View:Neither Bryant nor his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, gave a reason for his retirement, but it seems likely that he was informed by the Steelers that he was not in their future plans. Bryant started 16 games in a season three times in his career, including his rookie season, and was seen as a decent corner for much of his career. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.

March 17, 2009
Fernando Bryant has re-signed with the Steelers, according to ProFootballTalk.com. It is believed to be a one-year deal, but financial details are unknown.

Our View:The club re-signed him for depth after losing Bryant McFadden to the Cardinals.

January 11, 2009
TSN reports that the Steelers' inactives for Sunday's game against the Chargers are QB Dennis Dixon, CB Fernando Bryant, S Anthony Smith, LB Bruce Davis, G Jason Capizzi, T Tony Hills, DE Orpheus Roye, and DT Scott Paxson.

Our View:The Steelers' starting units are mostly healthy following their bye-week.

November 11, 2008
The Steelers signed veteran cornerback Fernando Bryant to a one-year contract, according to Scout.com. Financial terms were not disclosed. The team released linebacker Donovan Woods to make room on the roster.

Our View:Bryant was added to provide depth at cornerback as they have been thinned out by injuries, but he won't likely merit fantasy attention for IDP leagues.

September 4, 2008
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick requires cornerbacks who will display toughness and willingness to tackle, something that Fernando Bryant did not do, which is why the team cut him, according to Pro Football Weekly.

Our View:Bryant is a solid corner with good cover skills, so his release is seen as a message to other players to play physical.
