Steelers sign linebacker Andre Frazier

The Steelers signed another free agent today, one of their own, linebacker Andre Frazier.

Frazier received a one-year contract for an undisclosed amount of money. The Steelers declined to tender him a one-year, $927,000 tender as a restricted free agent last week, which made him an unrestricted free agent.

Frazier played in eight games strictly on special teams last season. He re-signed Sept. 20 with the Steelers. They originally signed him as an undrafted rookie in 2005, but released him in 2006 and he played for the Bengals that season before they released him last September.

I have to admit I've never heard of him. Sad thing for a life long Steelers fan to say.

Every team needs reliable backups that excel on ST.

He knows the system, and wouldn't screw up bad enough to make the team dysfunctional if called upon.

He's the guy on kickoff coverage that was built very similar to Eric Dickerson. He's worn both #44 and #94.
