Since the Artie Burns project took a very steep drop last season, the team has been searching for an answer at the position across from Joe Haden. Last season both Cameron Sutton and Coty Sensabaugh tried their hands at the role, but neither fully solidified their spot. Sure, Sensabaugh played the second half of the season as a starter, but if he blew the coaching staff away he wouldn’t be sitting on the free agent market waiting for a team to sign him.Not about to sit back and wait on other teams to pick up the best free agents, the Steelers went on the move. They tried to acquire Bradley Roby, and failed. They didn’t miss twice, signing Steven Nelson to a new 3-year contract.Many fans, myself included Isaiah Buggs Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey , were not familiar with Nelson’s body of work with the Kansas City Chiefs, so I reached out to Arrowhead Pride’s editor, Pete Sweeney, to get a feel for what Nelson has done the past four years while in Kansas City.This is what Sweeney had to say, and to get a better grip on Nelson you can always head over to Arrowhead Pride for some tremendous coverage:The key for me in the above statement from Sweeney is how Nelson has improved almost yearly since entering the NFL. If this trend continues, the Steelers would have picked up a cornerback who is just starting to blossom entering his second NFL contract. Not a bad scenario for a team who is under contract for three years, and could be without Joe Haden after 2019 when his contract expires.The written word is one thing, but the eye test doesn’t lie. I went through Twitter and found some clips of Nelson throughout his career. He is a physical player with a nose for the football. Is he perfect? Absolutely not, but he certainly is an upgrade over what the Steelers have/had at the CB2 position.Check out the clips:With the signing finally sinking in Isaiah Buggs Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey , it is time to get a feel for what you think of the signing?

Pavely-USA TODAY SportsJust a short month ago all you heard coming from the Pittsburgh Steelers was the impending contract for franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The vast majority of themedia, and fan base, thought Roethlisberger would receive his new contract before the start of the new league year to avoid paying him his roster bonus, and to potentially free up some salary cap space heading into free agency.That day came and went, and the Steelers have yet to give No. 7 a new deal. Some are suggesting the deal is much more complex than many believe, considering it is likely Roethlisberger’s final contract of his NFL career Isaiah Buggs Jersey 2019 , while others just figure the two sides know a deal will get done, and are just taking their time.Either way, assuming a deal will get done, what will the deal look like?
