Steelers sign Ryan Harris, likely out of Russell Okung sweepstakes

The Pittsburgh Steelers added some help on the offensive line on Tuesday, signing Ryan Harris to a two-year deal. The move is noteworthy to San Francisco 49ers fans because it could remove them from the Russell Okung sweepstakes. Harris was not a great tackle last season, but Pro Football Talk is reporting the Steelers are in fact no longer going after Okung. They had previously offered Okung a contract, according to reports.

The 49ers have been connected to Okung with a couple rumors, but nothing has developed beyond that. It's sort of the way this offseason has gone in general.
