Looks like we've got a new lead rusher... for what it's worth he'll really hit the holes.



After all the speculation about the health of Ahmad Bradshaw, the Steelers have signed HB Peyton Hillis to a 3 year contract worth $8.2mm with just under half of that guaranteed.

“We are happy that Peyton decided to join us,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “Peyton is a big, strong, physical back with a lot of talent and he should fit into our system well. We are looking forward to working with him and adding him into our offense.”


Pittsburgh could serve as a fresh start for Hillis, who had a drama- and injury-filled second year in Cleveland after rushing for 1,177 yards in 2010, and then never had much opportunity to break out with Kansas City last season.

Oh, man. You had me going. First I thought, "He signed? With who? No way he signed with the Steelers. Am I in the NFL forum by mistake?" ... then "Oh, crap, I'm in the Steelers forum. Did he really sign with us?" ... then remembered what day it was.

Good work! :rofl2:

I have to admit I stole this. Called my uncle with the "news" and he was cussing in languages that no human has heard before.
