There was a time not too long ago when the Pittsburgh Steelers boasted one of the best offenses in the NFL.

An offensive skill grouping that consisted of Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell, and Antonio Brown, for two years, the fourth man that formed the Killer B's was Martavis Bryant.

And while all are long gone from their days in the black and gold, Bryant has found a new team.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN , The Washington Commanders have signed Bryant to a one-year contract.

Bryant, who was as dynamic a deep threat as the league had seen, was lost to suspension multiple times for violating the NFL's policy on marijuana use, which has been said been lifted and is no longer in effect.

At just 23 years old and in his first season in the league, Bryant averaged an insane 21.1 yards per reception and hauled in eight touchdowns. A force that paired perfectly with Antonio Brown's playstyle, it looked like the WR duo and Killer B quartet would thrive for years.

But 2017 was the final run for the group, as Bell would hold out in 2018 and Bryant departed for the then Oakland but now Las Vegas Raiders.

Bryant also had a stop in Dallas last season, but he never appeared in a game.

The first step to doing that is making the roster in Washington.
