Makes some sense. The only position that they were reported not happy with, is the LG position. So, now they'll have competition there among 3 players, and add some depth for both G spots, no matter who starts at LG. I still think Dotson barring injury will still get the start. My opinion

He was brutal last year with the Jets. A depth move I guess.
Steelers sign G Nate Herbig (2 years, $8 million): B Grade
This is not an exciting signing by any means, as it won't really improve Pittsburgh's offensive line. However, it was the type of move the Steelers had to make because they didn't have much depth on the offensive line. Herbig, who was a below-average replacement last year when starting late in the year for the Jets, will provide the depth the Steelers are looking for at a reasonable price.

Sounds kinda expensive for a career back up.
Update:
In the last decade:
25% of the league has won a super bowl. The steelers are not one of them.
20 teams have as many or more playoff wins as the steelers.
25 teams have won at least one playoff game, none have a worse playoff win percentage than the steelers.
UFA OL are expensive because everyone needs OL.
He's improved depth at least. Which is something we are in desperate need of.
I don't think it gets rid of the need to draft a quality OL early-ish. But I do think it puts us closer to a BPA mindset in the first few rounds. Which is what I think non-premium UFAs are supposed to do.
Herbig looks like a slob in uniform. He obviously doesn’t carry his 340lbs very well at all.
Obviously the standard is the standard.
