    Steelers sign former Texans CB Brice McCain

    Originally a 6th round pick out of Utah. 5'9", 187 lbs. Has 10 starts in 5 seasons in Houston. Likely a depth/special teams signing. He does have 5 career interceptions. Length/terms not yet known.
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

          Puzzling. Maybe he can help on ST's, but it's hard to see him helping our D get better.

              This ranks with the Guy Wimper signing last year.
              As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

              but Go Steelers!!!

                Maybe Lake thinks he can coach him up. Before last season, he had a couple of good years as a nickle back. And he has good speed. Guess we'll see.

                  I don't think that he's even assured of making the team. He's a little bit of depth at a position where the Steelers currently have none. If camp opened today, he'd be competing for the #4 CB spot. I'm hoping for a better option, but there are worse things than veteran depth.

                    He will replace Curtis Brown for camp. The draft plan shouldn't change at all. He probably won't make it to the final 53

                          This reinforces my "Rhyme or reason" statement...

                          It does look like we've found Curtis Brown's replacement...for what it's worth

                              doubtful. There is a thread on here about Big Ben getting into trouble that addresses April Fool's day.
