    The Steelers have signed LB Steven Johnson to a one year deal. Johnson was with the Titans last season and played for the Broncos for 3 seasons before that. He'll add depth to ILB and likely be a solid special teams contributor.

    I had a double-take while reading the thread title. I thought TTF had joined in on the "fun".

    Another nice signing , but why did they not try and get some DB help ? I guess they are planning draft heavy.We may take 4 DB'S in this draft...

    What was a strength is becoming a weakness. ILB!!!! We loose Spence and Garvin and get Fort & Johnson. I get they like Fort and believe he can replace Garvin with no dropoff in production but Spence was a Key Back-up & ST. With Timmons aging, Shazier injury history AND Vince Williams & Timmons contracts up next year we may need to address the Position early in the draft........

    I did the same thing
    thought it was the other POST then realized it was TTF
    but then
    my thought was
    NOW he's getting into the act of messing back with people
    but then
    I realised it was a different person all too gether .

    surprised I have not seen it here yet but he's already tweeting so we must've hired the LBer. Thoughts?

    Could be good depth and should be handy at special teams
