DT Nick Eason signed
The Steelers (finally) made a second unrestricted free agent signing this year, inking former Cleveland Brown Nick Eason to a one-year deal. The defensive tackle will add some depth to a talented, but shallow, group that includes current starters Aaron Smith (re-signed this year) and Brett Kiesel.
The urgency of signing a DT for depth was exacerbated last week when UFA Rodney Bailey was signed by the Cardinals, adding to the former members of the family who have already made their way to Arizona — including former Offensive Coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, who filled the head coach position that was left vacant when Dennis Green was fired after the 2006 season.
The contract is believed to be for the league minimum.
