FRANCHISE PLAYER
None

TRANSITION PLAYER
OT Max Starks (tendered at $6.895M; signed tender April 21).

--RB Verron Haynes was re-signed late in the season after Willie Parker was hurt but likely won't receive another offer from Pittsburgh.

--FB Dan Kreider's role was diminished last year and then his ACL was torn. He's working out and the Steelers might sign him if he gets no looks elsewhere.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

I saw the Redskins just released him and he would be great for our punt return game, pro bowler after the 2005 season as a returner.

What a shocker, they put the pat as number 1 for the 4th year in a row. That wasn't the stupid part. They gave the Steelers draft a c-, but said all positives about each pick. Also, they think the Browns will win the division and us the 6th seed (win another ring that way). But we ...(more)

That top 1K symbol has finally been dropped from my CBS ID (I think they gave it to Memphis). I'm still trying to figure out how in the world I ever got that "honor". For that matter, I have know idea how it is that I'm a Superstar.

The Packers have released Koren Robinson.  Anyone have any feelings on brining him into camp to compete for the kick returner/punter returner spot?  He would also add some depth the receiving corps.  I know he has had his troubles in the past but I think he ...(more)

Steeler Nation, 

I have been a die-hard Steeler fan ever since I was a little kid reading watching Rod Woodson in my puffy starter jacket.  I live in California with three roommates and still keep a giant Steelers flag up in the living room (too bad for them I am the main tennant on the lease!)
