Fantasy News
Ben Roethlisberger - #7 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 241lbs
Mon. Mar 15, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Roethlisberger was not working out with his teammates and was not at the Steelers' practice facility, as the team started offseason workouts Monday, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Impact: Roethlisberger has kept a low profile since recently being accused of sexual assault in Milledgeville, Ga. That's still a pending situation that could linger as Roethlisberger and the Steelers begin their preparation for the 2010 season. Big Ben has had to deal with scrutiny before, but this latest allegation has the potential to be a major distraction for him in the coming weeks and months. Larry Foote - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 239lbs
Mon. Mar 15, 2010 |
STATS
News: Foote is returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers, signing a three-year contract after a season in Detroit.
Impact: Foote started for the Steelers when they won the Super Bowl during the 2004 and 2008 seasons, but chose to sign with his hometown Lions last year because he knew the Steelers planned to make Lawrence Timmons a starter. Foote knows the Steelers' system and provides flexibility at a position which features 35-year-old James Farrior. Larry Foote - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 239lbs
Mon. Mar 15, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Foote agreed to a three-year, $9.3 million contract with the Steelers on Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: Foote will earn $3.9 million in the first year of the contract. Foote, a former Steeler, gives the team another experienced linebacker in their 3-4 defense. Larry Foote - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 239lbs
Mon. Mar 15, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Foote will likely sign a multi-year contract with Pittsburgh on Monday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact: This is surprising, since Foote is expected to serve as a backup in Pittsburgh. Arizona seemed like the front-runner to sign Foote for a starting role. Perhaps something didn't click when Foote met with Cardinals officials last week. Foote knows the Steelers well, having played for them from 2002-08. Larry Foote - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 239lbs
Fri. Mar 12, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Foote will visit with the Steelers Monday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact: Foote did not want to play backup to Lawrence Timmons and was released by the Steelers prior to the 2009 season. He would add some needed depth to the linebacker corps, but would primarily be in backup duty, limiting his fantasy value. Foote visited Arizona on Wednesday and Thursday, and the Cardinals have a vacant starting role, so the Cardinals sound like a more promising fit. Larry Foote - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 239lbs
Thu. Mar 11, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Foote wants to sign with the Cardinals, the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact: The interest is probably mutual, since Arizona is looking for someone to replace starting inside linebacker Karlos Dansby, who signed with Miami last week. Foote, like several Arizona players and coaches, spent time with the Steelers. He could be a good fit for the Cards' 3-4 scheme, which has a lot of similarities to Pittsburgh's. Foote met with Cardinals officials in Arizona on Thursday. Limas Sweed - #14 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Thu. Mar 11, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: The additions of Antwaan Randle El and Arnaz Battle could squeeze Sweed (personal) out of a roster spot, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact: While it hasn't been confirmed one way or another, there is speculation that the "personal issue" that Sweed was battling last season was severe depression. Either way, perhaps a fresh start is what Sweed, drafted two picks ahead of Ray Rice in 2008, needs at this point. Larry Foote - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 239lbs
Thu. Mar 11, 2010 |
STATS
News: The Arizona Cardinals have welcomed free agent linebacker Foote for a visit.
Impact: Foote, an inside linebacker, led Detroit in tackles last season despite missing two games. He started every game for Pittsburgh from 2004 to 2008. Willie Colon - #74 - Tackle - 6'3" - 315lbs
Thu. Mar 11, 2010 |
STATS
News: Colon was with teammate Ben Roethlisberger on the night the quarterback was accused of sexual assault in a Georgia club, but did not witness anything, Colon's agent says.
Impact: Colon was at the Capital City nightclub in Milledgeville, Ga., last Friday, for a birthday party for Roethlisberger. But Joe Linta, Colon's agent, said by phone Wednesday that Colon was on the dance floor and not close by when Roethlisberger allegedly sexually assaulted a 20-year-old college student. Linta said Colon ``had no knowledge of the incident'' until he was questioned by authorities while leaving the club that night. Nick Eason - #93 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 305lbs
Wed. Mar 10, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: The Cardinals might move quickly in an effort to sign Eason, who reportedly has an offer on the table from the Steelers, the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact: Eason met with Arizona officials on Tuesday. The Cardinals like his versatility. His primary position is defensive end, but he can also play nose tackle. Wherever he ends up, Eason should be a backup in 2010. Pittsburgh is probably his most likely destination, since he was a Steeler from 2006-09. Antwaan Randle El - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 185lbs
Tue. Mar 9, 2010 |
STATS
News: The Pittsburgh Steelers made a surprise move by bringing back wide receiver Antwaan Randle El.
Impact: Randle El, who threw a TD pass on a gadget play during the Steelers' Super Bowl win over Seattle in 2006, is returning after spending four seasons with the Redskins. He agreed to a three-year deal with Pittsburgh. Ryan Clark - #25 - Safety - 5'11" - 205lbs
Tue. Mar 9, 2010 |
STATS
News: The Pittsburgh Steelers made a surprise move by re-signing safety Ryan Clark.
Impact: Clark agreed to a $14 million, four-year contract after the Steelers were unable to sign him before the free agency signing period began Friday. Clark reached terms after visiting the Miami Dolphins on Monday and talking with the Arizona Cardinals. Nick Eason - #93 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 305lbs
Tue. Mar 9, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Eason will meet with the Cardinals on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: Eason has only started nine games in seven NFL seasons, so the Cardinals will probably deploy him off the bench if they sign him. Larry Foote - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 239lbs
Tue. Mar 9, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Following a visit with the Redskins, Foote is scheduled to meet with the Cardinals on Wednesday and Thursday, the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact: It's possible that he will sign with Washington and cancel the Arizona visit, but the Cardinals probably have a greater need at linebacker. Pittsburgh is also said to be interested, however, the Steelers probably don't have a starting job to offer. Antwaan Randle El - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 185lbs
Mon. Mar 8, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Randle El agreed to a three-year deal with the Steelers on Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: We never thought we'd be seeing Randle El in Pittsburgh again, but he is indeed back with the team that originally drafted him. He was a major disappointment in 2009, and considering that the Steelers' group of receivers is deeper and more established than Washington's, his opportunities will probably decrease. Limas Sweed - #14 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Mon. Mar 8, 2010 |
STATS
News: Monday's signing of Arnaz Battle leaves Sweed's status for next season uncertain.
Impact: Sweed was taken off the active roster late in 2009 for reasons the Steelers still haven't disclosed. Ryan Clark - #25 - Safety - 5'11" - 205lbs
Mon. Mar 8, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Clark re-signed with the Steelers on Monday, the National Football Post reports. Terms have not been disclosed, but the deal is believed to be for four years and worth approximately $17 million.
Impact: Clark had been visiting with the Dolphins, but ultimately decided to return to Pittsburgh, where he turned in a career year in 2009 (three interceptions, 89 tackles). Re-signing Clark was one of Pittsburgh's top priorities this offseason. Will Allen - #26 - Safety - 6'1" - 200lbs
Mon. Mar 8, 2010 |
STATS
News: The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed safety Will Allen and wide receiver Arnaz Battle, both unrestricted free agents.
Impact: Allen has played all six of his NFL seasons with Tampa Bay after being drafted in the fourth round in 2004. Allen made two starts in 2009 before being placed on injured reserve after Week 9. He also is a strong special teams player. Arnaz Battle - #83 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 208lbs
Mon. Mar 8, 2010 |
STATS
News: The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed wide receiver Arnaz Battle and safety Will Allen, both unrestricted free agents.
Impact: Battle spent seven seasons with San Francisco and played in 88 games as a receiver, kick returner and punt returner. He has 178 receptions for 2,150 yards and 11 touchdowns. The 6-foot-1, 208-pound Battle was drafted by the 49ers in the sixth round in 2003. Ben Roethlisberger - #7 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 241lbs
Mon. Mar 8, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Roethlisberger has hired high-profile Atlanta defense attorney Ed Garland, as police investigate an allegation that he sexually assaulted a Georgia woman, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Thus far, Roethlisberger has not been charged, while police in Milledgeville, Ga. continue to investigate the allegation. Ben Roethlisberger - #7 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 241lbs
Mon. Mar 8, 2010 |
STATS
News: A high-profile defense attorney hired by Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on Monday disputed a college student's claim that the two-time Super Bowl winner sexually assaulted her at a Georgia nightclub. Ed Garland is representing Roethlisberger. Garland previously represented rapper T.I. on a federal weapons charge and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis in a murder case.
Impact: Roethlisberger has not been charged. The 20-year-old told police Roethlisberger, who had been out barhopping with friends, assaulted her early Friday. Arnaz Battle - #83 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 208lbs
Mon. Mar 8, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: The Steelers have signed Battle to a three-year contract, according to the team Web site.
Impact: Battle has spent his entire career (seven seasons) with San Francisco. He has 178 receptions for 2,150 yards in 88 games but also has seen time as a kick returner. With the depth ahead of him at receiver in the organization, he'll at best compete for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart. His main value will be on special teams. Will Allen - #26 - Safety - 6'1" - 200lbs
Mon. Mar 8, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Allen will sign a three-year contract with the Steelers on Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: Allen played in eight games for the Buccaneers last season before being placed on injured reserve with a broken thumb. Allen will have a shot at earning the starting safety spot alongside Troy Polamalu with previous starter Ryan Clark likely to find a new home via free agency. Ryan Clark - #25 - Safety - 5'11" - 205lbs
Mar 7, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Clark is in Miami to visit the Dolphins, according to the South Sun-Sentinel.
Impact: The former Steeler is an unrestricted free agent who is in his ninth year in the NFL. Since the Dolphins released Gibril Wilson, Clark is being brought in to possibly replace him. Ryan Clark - #25 - Safety - 5'11" - 205lbs
Sun. Mar 7, 2010 |
STATS
News: Clark's first visit in free agency will be with the Miami Dolphins.
Impact: Clark arrived Sunday in South Florida and will meet with Dolphins officials Monday, said his agent, Joel Turner. The Dolphins are in the market to replace safety Gibril Wilson, released Friday after one disappointing season in Miami. Joey Galloway - #84 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 197lbs
Mar 7, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Galloway, an unrestricted free agent, will not be re-signed by the Steelers, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact: Galloway will be lucky to get a chance this season to prove that he still has some spring in his step on the football field. Willie Parker - #39 - Running back - 5'10" - 209lbs
Mar 7, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Parker will visit with the Redskins this coming week, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: Clinton Portis is still with the team, but the Redskins need to re-stock at running back, after having recently released both Ladell Betts and Rock Cartwright. Arnaz Battle - #83 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 208lbs
Mar 7, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Battle will visit the Steelers on Monday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Impact: The Steelers are apparently shopping for some receiver depth. Even if he does sign with Pittsburgh, his fantasy value would be very low as he would at best be up for the fourth spot on the receiver depth chart behind Hines Ward, Santonio Holmes and Mike Wallace. Limas Sweed - #14 - Wide Receiver - 6'4" - 212lbs
Mar 7, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Sweed's status with the Steelers is uncertain, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Impact: Sweed missed just about the entire last month of the 2009 season due to a non-football illness. Although the team has not released any statements regarding his situation, the team is bringing in free-agent receiver Arnaz Battle Monday, which might be a hint that not all may be resolved with Sweed. Hopefully, all will work out in the end for the young receiver. Larry Foote - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 239lbs
Sat. Mar 6, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Foote will meet with the Cardinals next week, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Now that Arizona has officially lost Karlos Dansby to Miami, Foote seems to be their top choice as a replacement. Foote is essentially a poor man's Dansby. He's not as explosive or as well-known, and he's about 17 months older, but he's a solid tackler. Foote should be a lot more affordable than the five-year, $43 million deal that Miami gave Dansby. Ben Roethlisberger - #7 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 241lbs
Sat. Mar 6, 2010 |
STATS
News: A 20-year-old college student accused Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her at a nightclub early Friday during a night on the town near where he owns a lake home.
Impact: Police said the alleged assault occurred early Friday morning in Milledgeville, about 85 miles southeast of Atlanta. Deputy Police Chief Richard Malone said Roethlisberger had been with three other people who were mingling with another group that included the alleged victim. Police said Roethlisberger and his attorney were cooperating with investigators. He was not in custody and has not been charged with a crime. Ben Roethlisberger - #7 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 241lbs
Fri. Mar 5, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault in Georgia, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact: Ryan Tollner, the lawyer for Roethlisberger, said the allegations "appeared to be dismissed after a preliminary investigation," but local police are said to be arranging another interview. A team spokesman said, "We're gathering information on the report and we will have no other comment at this time." Ben Roethlisberger - #7 - Quarterback - 6'5" - 241lbs
Fri. Mar 5, 2010 |
STATS
News: Gossip web site TMZ is reporting that Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault by a woman in Georgia, where the alleged incident took place early this morning.
Impact: Roethlisberger is already being sued by another woman , who claims the two-time Super Bowl-winning QB sexually assaulted her in 2008. Ryan Clark - #25 - Safety - 5'11" - 205lbs
Fri. Mar 5, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Clark is now an unrestricted free agent.
Impact: After stating that getting Clark under contract was a priority, the Steelers failed to sign him prior to the start of free agency. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that Clark and his agent are expected to continue talks with Pittsburgh. Antwaan Randle El - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 185lbs
Thu. Mar 4, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Randle El will be released by the Redskins, the Washington Post reports.
Impact: Randle El's versatility and ability as a punt returner should get him work elsewhere before too long. Matt Spaeth - #89 - Tight End - 6'7" - 270lbs
Wed. Mar 3, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Spaeth has been tendered by the Steelers, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact: The Steelers now have right of first-refusal on Spaeth. They would receive compensation of a third-round draft pick should he sign with another club and Pittsburgh does not match the offer. William Gay - #22 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 190lbs
Wed. Mar 3, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: The Steelers have tendered a one-year contract offer to Gay, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact: The Steelers would receive a fifth-round draft pick should Gay sign with another team and Pittsburgh does not match the contract. Charlie Batch - #16 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 216lbs
Wed. Mar 3, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Batch, who is about to become an unrestricted free agent, might sign with Arizona, the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact: The Cardinals are looking for experience and depth behind their presumed starting quarterback, Matt Leinart. Batch could be a good fit, since he has been in the NFL for 12 years, including several with current Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt when both were in Pittsburgh. The downside surrounding Batch is that he's 35 years old, and he has been injured a lot. Willie Colon - #74 - Tackle - 6'3" - 315lbs
Wed. Mar 3, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: The Steelers have tendered a one-year contract offer to Colon, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact: The offer is worth about $2.5 million. The Steelers now maintain the rights to the restricted free agent and would receive a first-round draft pick if he signs with another team and Pittsburgh fails to match the contract. Jeff Reed - #3 - Kicker - 5'11" - 225lbs
Mon. Mar 1, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: A judge dismissed charges of simple assault and resisting arrest against Reed on Monday, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Reed may have faced punishment from the NFL if he had been found guilty, but this result will likely clear him of any league-imposed suspension. Jeff Reed - #3 - Kicker - 5'11" - 225lbs
Mon. Mar 1, 2010 |
STATS
News: A Pennsylvania judge has dismissed two charges against Reed and postponed a decision on two offenses stemming from a scuffle with police outside a bar. The judge in Pittsburgh on Monday threw out charges of simple assault and resisting arrest against Reed related to an Oct. 18 conflict near Heinz Field.
Impact: Police say Reed took a ``fighting stance'' when officers arrived to cite Reed's teammate, backup tight end Matt Spaeth, for disorderly conduct for allegedly urinating in a parking lot. Reed is also charged with disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. Larry Foote - #55 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 239lbs
Feb 28, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Foote, who will soon become an unrestricted free agent, might sign with Arizona, the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact: The Cardinals are expected to lose starting inside linebacker Karlos Dansby via free agency. Foote would be a logical replacement, since he won't be as expensive, and he played for current Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt when Whisenhunt was a Pittsburgh assistant. Jeff Reed - #3 - Kicker - 5'11" - 225lbs
Thu. Feb 25, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: The Steelers have placed the franchise tag on Reed, the team web site reports.
Impact: He will earn the average of the top five kickers in the league, which the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports will be about $2.8 million. The Steelers said Reed was one of their priorities this offseason and thus prevented him from entering free agency. Casey Hampton - #98 - - 6'1" - 325lbs
Thu. Feb 25, 2010 |
RotoWire
News: Hampton agreed to a three-year, $21 million contract with the Steelers on Wednesday, in Pittsburgh reports.
Impact: The deal, which reportedly includes $11 million in guaranteed money, prevents the Steelers from having to use their franchise tag on their disruptive run-stuffer. |
