Former Pittsburgh Steelers ILB Robert Spillane signed a two-year, $7 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders last offseason. He will face his former team for the second time in as many years come this Sunday. And he still has some thoughts about how he wound up in the Black and Silver rather than Gold.
“Leaving [the Steelers] has only [added] to the chip on my shoulder”, Spillane said yesterday, via Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. “They had a chance to bring me back in free agency but I’m here now and I’m so thankful to be a Raider and I look forward to bringing it to them on Sunday”.
