I'd bet my life he would sign it right in front of his new teamates. Deshea might be wearing a new uni but he will always bleed Black and Gold.

[Dino 6 Rings]

Guess I'm the only one that sees the gamesmanship of them signing someone that knows the entire Steelers Defensive playbook.

Free-agent cornerback Deshea Townsend (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=1515) agreed to a contract with the Indianapolis Colts (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=ind) on Sunday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

• Blog network: NFL Nation (http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation)




Townsend, 34, played 12 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=pit) after being drafted in the fourth round of the 1998 draft.
The 5-foot-10 Townsend has 21 career interceptions in 183 games.
He said earlier this month that he was surprised when the Steelers didn't re-sign him.
"I did kind of expect to be back, just to add some depth at the position," he said, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "They know there's a player out there they don't really have to teach the system, that can come in and play."

Deshea was a good steeler and, a classy guy.
