For eight years, the Pittsburgh tolerated Jeff Reed's off-field incidents and had no issues with his platinum-dyed hair and eccentricity. What they couldn't excuse were his blunders.
Reed, who set off the season as one of the 10 most precise kickers in NFL history but was unreliable all season, was cut Tuesday and replaced by former Washington kicker Shaun Suisham.

Suisham was signed straightaway after working out at Heinz Field, where Reed blamed the slippery, unsteady turf for his 26-yard miss against the Patriots on Sunday.
Reed has missed seven of 22 attempts overall, including all four between the 40- and 49-yard lines. He was 4 of 9 at Heinz Field, where swirling winds and mushy grass make kicking difficult.
