Steelers sign TE David Johnson to one-year deal. He missed 2012 season with knee injury.

Wow. Just wow.

I thought Will Johnson was better than DJ...

[Eddie Spaghetti]

please god, no.

[Chadman]

Short term back-up plan at TE?

And it get worse by the day /hour. Who's next Farrior or Ward.

I guess this kills my Tyler Eifert pick.

I wouldn't like that pick, Super...but I'm now a Rooney. Anyways, Chadman is right...makes sense for a temporary TE plan since Miller is out with his injury. That doesn't mean Eifert could not be our pick.

Insurance in case Heath isn't ready AND they don't find one in the draft.

I know, I know... we all want a super star at every position... but, I personally think the team has done a solid job thus far this offseason... It's a 1-year deal, probably very little signing bonus. If they luck upon someone else, they cut him and have minimal hit.

They have filled in with players that can play/have played in the past, but, are not exactly ideal starters.... stop-gap players. I think it's wise and cap-smart... from there, you see what happens in the draft. You fill in later with other experienced FAs over the summer.. same routine every year... pretty ho-hum thus far
