    When the Arizona Cardinals released Beanie Wells last weekend, it was reportedly in part because they were not optimistic about the state of his right knee.

    The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted Wells for a Friday visit, but a signing isn't likely to be forthcoming. One source told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Friday that Wells was found to have a "bad wheel."

    Although Wells did miss half of the 2012 season to a turf-toe injury, it's a good bet that the knee is the "wheel" in question.

    Still just 24 years old, Wells has plenty of time to salvage what has been a disappointing career since he was drafted 31st overall in 2009.

    I am so glad we were not able to go back into the first round that year and draft him.
