    Every team had the chance to meet with him and offer an opportunity, and he decided to sign with Pittsburgh. He obviously is on board with the plan. He probably needs time to get in game shape and there's a plan moving forward. Even if another team comes calling, I don't think he signs.

    We won't know if he's an upgrade until after he plays... When healthy he is a real upgrade. The question is just going to be whether or not he is healthy. He did his surgery and rehab here apparently, so we should have a good idea on his health.

    Only so many opportunities when you live/die with runs and screen passes.

    I agree. TBH I'm more excited about how this could impact the next few years than this year. He could be spending the next few weeks just getting his legs back. I think it's doubtful that he makes any difference right away - which is why he isn't even starting on the 53. But, if he does come back to form and show he can play like he once did, then the Steelers could be going into the next several seasons with the young duo of the two Juniors on the outside with Elliott returning, and others like Echols, Ramsey, Dugger, Pierre, Trice, Peppers....there has to be a few guys in there who can step up, and if there are then that can be a solid Dbackfield.

    Agreed, this is a "No Lose" situation for the Steelers. 1 Practice Squad roster spot given up, a few thousand dollars for 1 weeks pay, and you get to see him practice with the team. Whats the downside on this Practice Squad player pickup?


    Way too many experts declaring victory on signing a former All-Pro CB, and forgetting to mention that he was simply signed to the practice squad for now.

    Steelers are signing guys just to help them get those final paychecks or Insurance coverage before they’re done.
