    Good. i still think he can help this club. Probably not anymore than a backup or spot starter. However, he may still be able to create match-up problems for some teams.

    ^lol

    Best case scenario IMO. Get to keep the red zone threat/non-ST's contributer at the vet minimum. The only gripe would be him taking up a roster spot that could go to a bigger contributer yet-to-come (which we'll see about in a few months).

    Basically this is just insurance until Heath Miller comes back. Yes I know they play different position's. But what it comes down to is with Heath out the Steelers don't have any height. So Plaxico gives them that height mismatch in the red zone while Miler's down. Good move by the Steelers imo.

    I disagree that those are the reasons. We kept him for the same reasons we brought him in last year; depth and what he brings to the RZ (where we struggled).

    Don't know the figures but I am glad we have Foote back.

    Wow, I thought for sure it'd be 1 year/2 tops. I have no complaints, but I seriously doubt he's in a Steelers uniform three years from now.

    not sure how i feel about 3 years, but as long as the pricetag is pretty damn low, thats good depth for us i suppose?

    That is pretty cheap for Kruger. If he learns to play the run, he could be pretty good.

    Ian Rapoport‏@RapSheet
    The Dolphins have signed LB Dannell Ellerbe to a long-term deal, according to @RavensInsider. Brutal for #Ravens. Miscalculation


    - - - Updated - - -

    Brian Billick@CoachBillick
    If reports of Ellerbe to #Miami are true, it leaves the #Ravens void of talent at MLB position that hasn't been a concern for 17 years!

    NFL Draft Comp picks are a complex formula, but based on past precedent, I think there's a very good chance the Steelers get a 2014 3rd.
