  Colts | Weslye Saunders suspended 8 games    Thu Jul 18, 06:42 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Weslye Saunders has been suspended for the first eight games of the 2013 season for a second violation of the NFL's policy performance-enhancing substances. He was suspended last year for four games for violating the PED policy as well. He's eligible to participate in training camp and the preseason. After the team's final exhibition game, he won't be barred from team facilities until Nov. 4.

Footballguys view: This is the second time Saunders has been suspended during his pro career. He was suspended for the first four games of the year last season. Another strike and Saunders would get bounced for the entire year.

The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent TE Weslye Saunders (Steelers) Tuesday, Oct. 16.

Footballguys view: Saunders worked with interim head coach and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians when they were in Pittsburgh. We like his athleticism, but he is a raw prospect with off field issues in the past.

  Steelers | 15 undrafted rookies added    Tue Jul 26, 01:55 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to terms with undrafted rookie free-agents RB John Clay (Wisconsin), TE Weslye Saunders (South Carolina), WR Terrence McCrae (Ohio University), TE Vaughn Charlton (Temple), WR Armand Robinson (Miami, Ohio), WR Adam Mims (Furman), C Colin Miller (Central Michigan), OT Trevis Turner (Abilene Christian), S Brett Greenwood (Iowa), CB Niles Brinkley (Wisconsin), OLB Eric Clanton (Citadel), LB Mario Harvey (Marshall), DE Miguel Chavis (Clemson), DT Anthony Gray (Southern Mississippi) and WR Eric Greenwood (Idaho).

Footballguys view: Saunders is a big play TE who can get upfield in a hurry. He could make the team because he's a good athlete who creates mismatches when he's on the field. Clay is a big back who lacks the suddenness to change direction smoothly. It's doubtful he makes the final roster unless he can show better initial burst.

  Steelers | Meeting with three draft prospects    Wed Apr 20, 12:22 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers are meeting with San Diego State WR Vincent Brown, South Carolina TE Weslye Saunders and Virginia Tech S Davon Morgan Wednesday, April 20, according to Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Footballguys view: Brown is one of our favorite receivers in this year's draft. He has arguably the best hands in his class, runs good routes, and can beat the jam off the line of scrimmage. Saunders creates mismatches when he's on the field because of his size/hands combination. He has limited run after the catch ability, off field concerns, and durability issues.

  NFL | Weslye Saunders set for surgery Friday    Wed Mar 30, 11:17 PM

South Carolina TE Weslye Saunders (foot) is scheduled for surgery Friday, April 1, to repair a broken bone in his left foot, reports The Associated Press. Saunders took part in the South Carolina Pro Day Wednesday, March 30, after failing to take part in the NFL Scouting Combine due to injury. The workout was performed in front of personnel from 28 of the 32 NFL teams.

Footballguys view: Saunders is an NFL quality physical talent, but his durability in the draft season has been poor and he was dismissed from the South Carolina team last year. He is worth tracking in very deep dynasty leagues, but he is going to get drafted late, if at all.
