After practice wrapped up on Saturday in Latrobe, ESPN reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers were signing LB Kwon Alexander to a one-year deal, pending a physical. Alexander was a player that Pittsburgh previously expressed interest in earlier this offseason, having him in for a visit back in May, but left town without a contract. Apparently, GM Omar Khan and the front office saw the need to further bolster their ILB room prior to the start of the regular season, signing Alexander who is a seasoned veteran with plenty of starting experience.
The eight-year veteran has 590 combined tackles during stints with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, and New York Jets.
