The Steelers have given Tyrone Carter a new 3-year contract.  Carter played in all 16 games for the Steelers last season and he made 42 tackles, had 2 sacks, defensed 2 passes, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble.  Look for Carter to force his way into the starting lineup at some point over his new contract.

During this years draft we all know that the steelers have wholes on bothe sifes of the ball that they need to fill. There are many ways that they could do this.

 I think that during the draft the steelers should first trade down in the draft. to a team like detroit, houston, or arizona and try to trade them alan faneca for that teams first round pick. then i think with that pick we should draft Joe thomas the ofensive lineman out of wisconson. Then i think with are 15th pick in the draft we should draft one of these 5– Greg Olsen TE Miami  -Paul Poslunsky LB PennState  -Darelle Revis CB Pitt- Jarvis Moss DE Flordia-Ryan Kalil C USC.

This was not a big move by the Steelers as Iwuoma isn’t much of a player.  He participated in 5 games for the Steelers last season and made 4 tackles.  He won’t play much for the Steelers in 2007 and if he does they will be in trouble.

The Steelers have signed OL Sean Mahan to a 5 year, $18 million dollar contract.  Mahan was a guard most of his career but the Steelers will likely use him at center.  Mahan played in all 16 games last season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2006 and he started 12 games for them.  This was a good move for the Steelers.

The Steelers have re-signed Najeh Davenport to a 2-year, $2 million dollar contract.  He played well behind Willie Parker last season.  He played in 13 games last season and he carried the ball 60 times for 221 yards (3.7 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 15 passes for 193 yards (12.9 avg) with 1 TD catch.  Look for Davenport to get more opportunities with the football to keep Willie Parker fresh next season.
