The Steelers’ offensive line got some great news this morning when Ramon Foster decided to sign his restricted free-agent tender. He’ll make $1.26 mil this season and become an unrestricted free agent next offseason, but we’re hoping the Steelers can keep him in the Burgh for a while.
This was huge news because Foster is the first tenderized RFA to sign this offseason, and if he had gone somewhere else, the Steelers would have gotten absolutely nothing in return since Foster was undrafted and the Steelers slapped him with a low tender. Apparently some other teams had some interest but no offers came in so Foster decided to stay put.
After the year he had last year, there’s no reason to think that Foster won’t be the starting right guard this season – he definitely earned that spot last year while his linemates were falling around him. With Foster locked up, the offensive line should feature Marcus Gilbert and Willie Colon at tackle, Maurkice Pouncey at center, Foster at right guard...

A report from Howard Balzer of ESPN Radio is that Ramon Foster has signed his RFA Tender. Foster was signed as a restricted free agent and was given the one year $1.26 million offer. That is the lowest offer and if Foster were to sign elsewhere the Steelers would have received nothing in return since he was an undrafted free agent.
Foster is still likely to start at guard for...

Why Has Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Wallace Received No Offers?

April 05, 2012
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace is a restricted free agent who comes with a first round tender attached to any team who presents him with an offer. While that means that a team would have to first come up with a price acceptable to Wallace as well as surrendering their first round pick, it still remains somewhat surprising that no team has made a play...

It is no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers will likely select a young nose tackle to groom in the draft later on this month and one player that could certainly fit the bill is Alabama nose tackle Josh Chapman. Chapman is still currently rehabbing after having surgery in mid January on his left knee to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament that he suffered in a game against the...

All things come to pass, good and bad. The deplorable quarterback play of the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s stung but did not stick. The grit, production, and smiles of Hines Ward helped to capture two Super Bowl victories, yet his time with the team reached its end just this past season. The ebb and flow of players in the NFL is unavoidable...

There has been a lot of back and forth debate about Coby Fleener. There are people who agree that he could go in the first round. Some are skeptical that the Pittsburgh Steelers would draft a position of lesser need. Finally, there are those who don’t think he’s a possibility going at 24, because he’s a second round talent. I want to quickly address...
