    2 years? Sweet. I hope opposing defenses bring a lot of ice packs because i think we officially have THE most physical runningback tandem in the NFL

    I would love to round out our RB corps by re-signing Felix Jones... but I'm happy about Blount and I"ll probably be content with whomever they decide to have on as RB3.

    Re: LeGarrett Blount Signed

    Howling and Jones are the same age... I think the Cowboys were dumb to try to make Jones the feature back but he's a versatile hands guy for sure. Plus Jones has been healthy the past few seasons, and while he's not known for his blocking... Howling flat out can't. Jones may more appropriately fit the mold of keeping a 1-2 punch going should some injury happen to Bell, too.

    Re: LeGarrett Blount Signed

    Colbert hinted that the Steelers would make a bigger splash than usual in FA. We've got a starting safety, and now Moore and Blount... perhaps a routine year for some teams but pretty big for us. I'm glad that it feels like we're making these signings count, even if I'm not as big a fan of Cam Thomas

    I like this signing and I like what they have done in this off season. I was getting worried for a while, but I have to hand it to Kevin. Now I hope he surprises me in the upcoming draft.

    Wonder if he is any relation to Mel?

    Re: LeGarrette Blount Signed

    2 years at ~$1.9 million per. Not a bad deal for the Steelers. Much better than paying over $3 million per year for MJD.

    I approve.

    He always looked like a Steeler to me. This seems like a good fit, and a good deal.

    Where's the money come from, I thought we had just over a Mil left? Signing bonus I guess? Not too "in the know" when it comes to cap stuff

    Really good signing by the Steelers. If we can get the OL shored up some more (and with the help from Munchak) our running game will be deadly. Art II should be very happy with that.
