Pittsburgh Steelers running back Willie Parker isn’t likely to be with the Steelers after this season.

ESPN reports that the Steelers won’t try hard to keep Parker on the roster, which is hardly a surprise considering how his contract year has gone thus far.

Parker has proven ineffective and injury-prone, like he was for most of last season.

Parker needs to show improved explosiveness and production the rest of the year. He doesn’t have a lot of value as a receiver or as a special teams player. That could make it difficult for him to find a job in the offseason.

And if you don’t think that’s possible, just look at what former Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander, former Saints running back Deuce McAllister, former Panthers running back DeShaun Foster and former Bengals Rudi Johnson are up to this year.
