Seigler released, then arrested

Now-former Steeler linebacker Richard Seigler, a first-team blocking dummy (read: practice squader) for the last two seasons, was arrested Thursday based on a Las Vegas warrant for allegedly running a prostitution ring. He was arrested in Pittsburgh the same day he was released by the team.
Given the Steelers’ history of dealing with people who have had run-ins with the law (see Bam “Puff ‘n Pass” Morris) and the timing of his release, it stands to reason that the warrant was the direct cause of his release.
Clearly his practice squad pay wasn’t covering the bills, so he began pimping. While the NFL has had its share of odd violations of the law — and, in the case of Ricky Williams and his continuing drug saga, odd violators of the law — this one will probably go down in history as one of the weirdest ways for an NFL player to get arrested. Most of them just stick to peddling pot and toting nines.
