David J and Levi

The decision to sign another TE is mind boggling. What is the point of Palmer if he is seen as a guy that cannot step in for David Johnson?

I would like to see the Steelers at least kick the tires on a guy like Jason Smith - former #2 overall pick in the draft who turned out to be a bust. Or grab Kyle Long or grab a tackle from another practice squad.

since Levi didn't play does this mean we get to keep the draft pick?

Yup, reports are saying that the Steelers only had to give up the pick if Brown was on the active roster for 5 games.

This still hurts the salary cap a bit - players on IR count against the cap, so whatever portion of his salary the Steelers were paying this year is now gone.
