For a long time, the Steelers looked at the early hours of free agency as a curiosity, unable or unwilling to jump into the water until it had warmed up some.
That changed Tuesday, likely spawned by consecutive 8-8 records and a decaying defense.
The Steelers broke from their norm and jumped headlong into the early hours of free agency when they signed a young safety to take Ryan Clark’s job.

| Mitchell was one of the more outspoken members of the team, as well as most penalized. After being fined $7,875 for taunting against the St. Louis Rams, he called out NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for making him a target.
