After Rainey was arrested for slapping his girlfriend over possession of his cell phone (last year, he was arrested for stalking the same girlfriend) the Steelers terminated his contract.
GM Kevin Colbert:
"Chris Rainey's actions this morning were extremely disappointing. Under the circumstances and due to this conduct, Chris will no longer be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers."
Wow.

Very dumb on his part. I guess they will never learn!

"This is not the first arrest for Rainey, who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor stalking while attending the University of Florida. Another Steelers rookie, Alameda Ta'amu, was arrested on 18 charges after allegedly leading police on a wild, car chase in November. Ta'amu remains on the Steelers' roster." - Excerpt taken from: www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000124526/article/chris-rainey-arrested-in-florida-on-battery-chargeI haven't heard of him having other problems with the Steelers. If he's had disciplinary problems with them I could understand this decision. If this is an isolated incident since joining them it would seem like an overreaction.
