Check him for wires before you let him in the facility. He could be a spy.

Why did the Pats and Colts unload him ?
Maybe the Colts found a hidden transmitter in him from Belicheat!
Signings actually began a while ago...I've read they signed former TCU WR Jimmy Young, CB Antonio Smith (I think he went to OSU), and former Texas A&M QB Jerrod Johnson all in addition To Kade Weston
Add OT Trevis Turner to the list...i thought he sucked.
Forgot to add that they also signed (from the PS) TE Jamie McCoy, DE Corbin Bryant and OL Malecki.
Don't know a ton about Weston, just remember him being a big guy from Georgia.
Turner was on our practice squad all year.Quote:

Also signed DE Mike Blanc.
Along with former SC State LB Marshall McFadden. Blanc was a former DT at Auburn.Quote:

I agree with you on Bryant I liked what I saw of him. But Turner did not impress me during the preseason ever...more like Turnstyle.Quote:

The Steelers announced today that OG John Malecki,TE Jamie McCoy, OT Chris Scott, OT Trevis Turner and DT Corbin Bryant have re-signed with the team after spending part or all of the 2011 season on the club’s practice squad. Bryant was the only player to spend time on the active roster in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Steelers also signed quarterback Jerrod Johnson, defensive lineman Mike Blanc, defensive tackle Kade Weston, cornerback Marshall McFadden and defensive back Antonio Smith."
I was wondering if they were gonna bring C Scott back or not...
Add former Detroit Lions 3rd rd pick WR Derrick Williams to the future contract list
Williams is sort of intriguing. Depending on what happens with Ward and Cotchery I could envision a scenario where he sticks.
Other than that the only name I really like at this point is Chris Scott. I'd be a little surprised if he doesn't make the active roster this year.
Certainly will be no shortage of speed at WR, even towards the bottom of the depth chart.Quote:

Add WR Tyler Beiler

Very small school guy but highly productive. Guy I had on my "small school/crazy stats" list last draft season.Quote:

Also CB Walter McFadden (younger bro of Bmac) and former Raider, and WR David Gilreath
Ugh...
And
Double Ugh...
What do you expect...they're just "future contracts"...aka a lot of camp bodies with a couple having a slight chance to make the team. Its not like this is the regular FA signing period, haha.Quote:

And it meets the Steelers' quota of having white receivers named Tyler since Grisham is gone.
