Steelers past FA signings
Seeing that free agents have been the hot topic on this forum lately, I thought that I would list a few of the "top-quality free agent players" that the Steelers have signed over the past 16 years or so.
I haven't done in research on this topic, I'm listing these quality players off the top of my head. Add your comments or anyone that I may have forgotten. John L. Williams FB Duvall Love OL Tom Newberry OL Ray Seals DE Yancy Thigpen WR Norm Johnson K Jeff Hartings OL James Farrior LB |

Re: Steelers past FA signings
Hey...
We brought in a Punter in FA... I can't remember his name... but something about him... Hmm... something special.... I think he went his whole career without...... what was that. Oh yeah.. He never had a punt blocked! That's right! Gardocki! |

Re: Steelers past FA signings
Kevin Green, Kimo Von Olhoeffen, James Farrior, Dwayne Washington, Yancy Thigpen, Chris Gardocki, Wayne Gandy, Will Wolford, John L Williams, Jeff Hartings, and Brent Alexander were all really solid to great free agent acquisitions.
Then you had guys like Duce Staley, Tommy Maddox, Ryan Clark, and Mike Tomczach who all had their "moments". Also, don't forget we traded for Jerome Bettis who technically wasn't a free agent, but was brought in from another team via trade. All in all, we've done allright.... |

Re: Steelers past FA signings
so, basically what I'm understanding here is that the trend says they aren't about to go out and get a stud like Randy Moss?

Re: Steelers past FA signings
Steelers usually seem to pay modest money in FA for a role player, although some have turned out to be more. Staley was the biggest waste of money EVER in the NFL. The guy was a broken down lame RB in Philly.

Re: Steelers past FA signings
steelers will not be active the first few days of free agency, but i expect them to pick up 1 or 2 pieces of the puzzles prior to the draft

Re: Steelers past FA signings
I don't know why people are ragging on Duce. If I can recall he was doing just fine for us until he got that injury in 2004.
Getting bitten by the injury bug was the problem with Duce. He got rusty and never recovered. He could've been servicable or good. |
