The Steelers have brought back 34-year old DE Orpheus Roye on a 1-year contract.  Roye played in 13 games for the Cleveland Browns last season and he made 37 tackles and had 1/2 a sack.  Roye is on the last legs of his NFL career and he will likely be nothing more than a backup for the Steelers this season.  Roye has now played in 174 games in his NFL career and he has made 510 tackles, defensed 41 passes, has 18.5 sacks, forced 5 fumbles and has 2 interceptions.  This was a solid depth signing for the Steelers.
