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

    He was with the COLTS this year.

    Why did the Pats and Colts unload him ?

    Maybe the Colts found a hidden transmitter in him from Belicheat!

    Re: Offseason pickups begin

    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

    Re: Offseason pickups begin

    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.

    Re: Offseason pickups begin

    Trevis Turner & Corbin Bryant have MUCH potential. Neither of them suck !!! Actually, they both might be (draft pick) saving graces. There's a reason they have been kept on the practice squad all season and now signed to come back in to camp next year.

    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.

    Re: Offseason pickups begin

    Official Announcement via the Steelers FB:

    "The Steelers signed 10 players today to Reserve/Future contracts for the 2012 season. Five members of the Steelers’ 2011 practice squad were among the 10players signed to the team’s 2012 offseason roster.

    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...

    Re: Offseason pickups begin

    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.

    Wasn't Derrick Williams a Sweed-like bust? Why would we want him here??

    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.

    Re: Offseason pickups begin

    And Beiler will be the new guy Bob Pompanei, much to my frustration, will call the team's "Wes Welker" after he makes a five yard catch on 2nd and 14 in the third quarter of the second preseason game.

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