Sorry guys, this article was only about free agent pickups. Bettis was a trade.
Dom strikes again with another great piece! I'm excited to watch the young and hungry Steelers in 2012, I think Ziggy, Cam, and the Diesel have a shot to be the best DE rotation in the NFL.
Great insight Craig, Spence will be one of the top 3 players I watch like a hawk in Latrobe. His tape is off the charts.
@Anthony Grescavage thats awesome, please keep us in the loop of any reply.

YISC, I got it to the team via Twitter. We'll see.
great article dbuzzard
great to see the team bring in Lindsey and Dixon, both local stars. Also like the idea of having a rookie punter and kicker in camp to push the incumbents. Kapinos has been solid, but I'm sure fans will agree that Suisham needs to move along.
Thank you for the kinds word, Hawk_Eye.
I appreciate the honesty though Hawk_Eye.
Not every team got an A or B. There are a few C's and a D- in there. Reality is NOT that 40-50% of these players will be out of the league in 2 to 3 years. Go find me a 1st round of any year where those numbers hold up. There will be busts, no doubt - but in a first round evaluation unless a team drafts a player they don't need or a player that is out of the top 50 on the board, I don't see the need to fail them.
Its the first round Hawk_Eye. Would you like to tell me who in your eyes "failed" the first round?
Thank you Kimmy, I believe that Hines is a HOF worthy player.
