BigBen07 285 Posted March 28, 2014 Running back LeGarrette Blount has signed a two-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers for what a source says is $3.85 million, including a $950,000 signing bonus. The Steelers announced the signing Friday, but they did not confirm the financial terms. Blount, who rushed for 772 yards and seven touchdowns last season for the New England Patriots, will add size and experience to the Steelers' backfield. Undrafted out of Oregon in 2010, Blount also provides the Steelers with a proven backup behind Le'Veon Bell. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10689923/legarrette-blount-agrees-deal-pittsburgh-steelers Nice deal! Adds some teeth to the running game. Things are looking up for Pittsburgh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch 874 Posted March 29, 2014 I like this move by the Steelers. This is another piece to build on to help get their running game back on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted March 29, 2014 Blount and Bell is gonna hurt. Looking forward to the new Steelers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigBen07 285 Posted March 29, 2014 This also helps extend Bell's career as both RB's will get equal carries. Blount is also a pretty damn good power back from what I saw of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC 331 Posted March 29, 2014 Blount is very one dimensional from what I saw of him in Tampa but he also turns short runs into much longer runs than they should be. Good signing and a player very characteristic of what a typical Steeler resembles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
