Steelers ink third-round linebacker Sean Spence
Posted by Mike Florio on May 29, 2012, 2:38 PM EDT
The Steelers previously had signed seven of their nine 2012 draft picks. No. 8 is now under contract.
Per a league source, the Steelers have agreed to terms with former Miami linebacker Sean Spence.
A third-round pick and the 87th overall selection in the draft, Spence will likely earn dollars in the range of $2.67 million during the four years of his deal. His signing bonus likely will be in the range of $545,000.
The rookie has some big shoes to fill; the team has issued Spence No. 51, most recently worn by James Farrior.
“I’m happy to have it but I think if they would have drafted another linebacker they would have got the same number,” Spence recently said. “Luckily they drafted me.”
