    PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers continue adding to their roster, signing wide receiver and return specialist Ray-Ray McCloud to a one-year deal, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

    McCloud came to Pittsburgh near the end of training camp last summer and secured a spot on the 53-man roster. He played in all 16 games, starting two, and adding 20 receptions for 77 yards to his career total.

    McCloud also worked as the Steelers' main return man, taking 29 punts for 298 yards and 28 kick returns for 646 yards.

    The Steelers have signed three players in the last week to one-year deals. McCloud joins Marcus Allen and J.C. Hassenauer as the latest re-signings by the team.

    Makes sense.

    Has to be super cheap.

    Is the best returner we've had in a while (a pretty low bar though).

      Ray Ray was a pleasant surprise last season.

        Worth it. Maybe our best return many in the past 10 years. Just no more Jet sweeps with him, okay.
        Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

        Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

        *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

          He is probably getting paid 1.5M, way below the RFA cost of 2.1.

          I hate to say it, because I want nothing to do with him as a WR, but as a ST returner, I can live with it.
