The Pittsburgh Steelers are not known for making big splashes in free agency when it comes to bringing in players from outside of their own organization. Notable signings in that regard are few and far between, and yet they did add a pretty significant piece during the preseason by acquiring Joe Haden to start a quarterback, though he was a street free agent.
All free agents, however, pale in comparison to the importance and the impact of inside linebacker James Farrior, who for a decade steered Dick LeBeau’s championship defense to near perfection.
