It has been a busy three weeks for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Steelers Nation. LaMarr Woodley has been cut and now replaced Black and Gold with the Silver and Black. Jason Worilds is the Steelers 10 million dollar transition man. The Steelers signed Michael Mitchell, Arthur Moats, Lance Moore, Cam Thomas, and LeGarrett Blount. They […]
After a week which saw them lose Jonathan Dwyer, David Johnson, Al Woods, Ziggy Hood and Emmanuel Sanders, the Steelers began week 2 of NFL Free Agency by resigning one of their own. Except it wasn’t the one Steelers Nation was hoping for. When word broke that Jerricho Cotchery would end his Steelers cruise by […]
And then their were none. David Johnson was the first Pittsburgh Steeler to defect in free agency. He also happened to be their sixth round pick of the 2009 NFL Draft and the second to last member of that draft class on their roster. My early story: Steelers lose 2009 first-round draft pick Ziggy Hood […]

And his vision for the Steelers backfield most certainly included David Johnson, who was moving to fullback, and Jonathan Dwyer along with Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman. Now all four are gone. Redman of course was cut mid-season […]
Michael Mitchell. With those two words the Pittsburgh Steelers made a near unheard of day one splash in NFL Free Agency as the Steelers signed Mitchell to take Ryan Clark’s place. Day two saw the Steelers incurred their first losses in the form of Al Woods, Jonathan Dwyer and David Johnson. But the Steelers also […]
NFL Free Agency opened today and the Pittsburgh Steelers departed from the script – in a big way – by signing Carolina Panthers safety Mike Mitchell. The opening of free agency is usually always accompanied by a flurry of big money signings, and the Steelers have traditionally remained on the sidelines through it all. But […]
