The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Brandon Johnson. The 29-year-old Johnson spent the last four seasons in Cincinnati, where he played 58 games - including 12 starts - recording a career-high 79 tackles in 2008. Johnson was originally drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fifth round of the 2006 draft. Johnson gives the Steelers needed veteran depth at linebacker. Pittsburgh's other three top reserves - Stephenson Sylvester, Jason Worilds and rookie Sean Spence - have started a combined eight NFL games.

Via PPR Fantasy Football  |  June 13, 2012
Is Jermaine Gresham going to take the next step in 2012? Matt Williamson is offering a unique perspective, gently placing his future-goggles into a position-by-position ranking three years from now. You’ve already experienced one position ranking, listing wide receiver A.J. Green as the second-best wide receiver in 2015, behind Calvin Johnson — which is so vogue (Green...

Steelers Littergate: Anti-litter Group Should Use Sanders Mistake As Teaching Opportunity

Via Steelers Depot  |  June 12, 2012
Let me start this post off by saying that I have littered before. I have done it more than once in my life as well. Not recently mind you, but I have done it. In addition, I have never been ticketed or fined for it. Boy, that feels good to get that off my chest. It seems that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown have also littered in their past as...

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Dontay Moch has been suspended for the first four games of the NFL season, according to a league source. The reason for the punishment is undisclosed.

Broncos And Ravens Eyeing DE Antwan Odom

Via GridironFans.com  |  June 13, 2012
Jason la Canfora from NFL Insider reports: Teams are eyeing Odom as a possible value play, though he is much further removed from his top form. Odom suffered from wrist issues and had his career derailed by having a pin put in the wrong spot during a surgery when he was a Bengal, according to his agent, Tony Agnone, "that resulted in a worker's comp settlement. Odom, 30...

Leftwich wins longest throw competition; Kirby Wilson returns

Via Blitzburgh Blog  |  June 14, 2012
-B- The Steelers wrapped up their mini-camp today with a little bit of fun. The quarterbacks had a longest throw competition and the winner was big Byron Leftwich, who bested Troy Smith in the last round with a throw of over 70 yards. Pretty impressive. No word if Roethlisberger participated or how far he threw.  -B- Speaking of Big Ben, he was ranked the 30th best player in...

Steelers already second guessing O-Line?

Via The Sports Jags  |  June 13, 2012
Steeler Nation loved it when David DeCastro fell to the Steelers in the Draft, and even with his extracurricular activities. They loved that Mike Adams was the team’s second-round pick (him growing up as a Steelers fan probably had something to do with it). And the majority of Steeler Nation lost their **** when the Steelers’ offensive line instantly became “one of the...

Steelers' Sanders, Brown plead guilty... of littering

Via This Given Sunday  |  June 14, 2012
News is slow at this time of the offseason. We all know it. That's why the following is such a huge deal for Steelers fans. Wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Antontio Brown pleaded guilty on Monday to leaving boxes by a private dumpster. You read that right. They pleaded guilty -- to leaving boxes -- by a dumpster. We'll just go ahead and ignore the fact that they actually...

Art Rooney II on Mike Wallace: “He should be here.”

Via Down and Distance  |  June 13, 2012
The Mike Wallace ordeal has been the talk and focus of the Pittsburgh Steelers off-season thus far. From Wallace asking for outrageous money from teams interested in him as a free agent, to his walk of shame back to the ‘Burgh after no teams would pony up that kind of dough, #17 has been the talk of the town. The date to watch is June 15th, as that is the deadline for Wallace to...

Little talk between Steelers and Mike Wallace

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  June 14, 2012
Restricted free agent Mike Wallace is absent from the Steelers’ mandatory minicamp. The word “mandatory” is a little misleading because it’s only mandatory if a player is under contract, which Wallace, who has yet to sign his restricted free agent tender, is not currently, so the Steelers can’t fine him. However, they can reduce his tender value from 2.742 million to 577...

This Steelers Grave Is Highly Pittsburghish

Via Kissing Suzy Kolber  |  June 13, 2012
Welp, the late Mr. James here had his life tragically cut short just shy of his 24th birthday. On the bright side, he died before having to watch the Steelers lose to the Packers in Super Bowl XLV two and a half months later. So that’s nice. Oh, and he has a giant Steelers helmet on his grave, which is hopefully something he asked for before dying. I feel like it has to be. Then...
