Timmons Signs!

Read all about it here, though there aren't that many details. It's a 5 year deal instead of a 6, but that's ok. If he can play, they will redo his deal after 4 anyway.

Timmons, Our New Man

Well, we now have our very own "LT". Lawrence Timmons became a Steeler today around 3:45 PM with the 15th pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. They had their man because they didn't wait very long to make the pick. I was kind of hoping they would go OL because I think the need is greater there as Timmons may not even start, but LB was one of the three positions I thought we would go after along with DL. Now, if Mr. Cowher was still in charge, Timmons would have no shot to start - even if he outplays Silverback or Haggans in camp. We'll see how Tomlin handles it if Timmons is clearly deserving to start. At the very least, he can cut his teeth on special teams and hopefully cut down some return men.
