Pair Of Linebackers Visiting Steelers Today

by Alex Kozora

The Pittsburgh Steelers have lined up two visits to two linebackers today. Spencer Paysinger and Mike Morgan are set to meet with the team, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Paysinger, undrafted in 2011, spent the first four years with the New York Giants before signing with the Miami Dolphins last year. He played 325 snaps on special teams, according to Football Outsiders and made ten total tackles.

Morgan, also undrafted in 2011, has spent his entire career with the Seattle Seahawks. He was also a core special teamer, playing 284 snaps, or just over 63% of the total. He recorded 11 total tackles.

Both figure to be inside linebacker help that it certainly needed after losing Sean Spence to the Tennessee Titans and Terence Garvin to the Washington Redskins.

We’ll provide further updates throughout the day. It wouldn’t be surprising to see one of these players sign. The players the Steelers tend to sign are ones that ink a contract on the day they are brought in. It’ll be a nice gift to the city of Pittsburgh, who is celebrating its 200th birthday.

Spencer Paysinger went to Oregon, and has always been a OLB, and not a good one either. He played ST and that is all. He has no ILB experience, or size to do it. He also has had a long history with neck injuries. To even bring him in is a waste of time. Morgan, I don't know about.

I guess we technically need at least one more person to round out the depth chart at the minimum salary. But fourth-string ILB is not exactly a critical need. Why not have that be a late-round rookie, on the off chance that he might turn out to be, you know ... good?

Bringing in special team players to replace Garvin.
