Good to see the Steelers are signing some worthy depth to their team. I hope these guys can someday become more than a ST or back up.

with no salary cap ceiling or basement, they should have signed him for less.

Worthington just looks like a player. Don't know a whole lot about him but camp is coming soon. Only time will tell, but I have a good feeling about this guy.
