The Steelers have signed 32-year old CB Corey Ivy and 29-year old linebacker Rocky Boiman.  Ivy played in all 16 games for the Ravens last season and he made 52 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, forced 1 fumble, defensed 3 passes and he had 2.5 sacks.  Ivy has now played in 110 games in his NFL career and he has made 278 tackles, defensed 25 passes, has 9.5 sacks, forced 5 fumbles and he has 3 interceptions.  Ivy will also provide some depth in the secondary.  Rocky Boiman played in 11 games last season for the Chiefs and he made 73 tackles, defensed 3 passes and he forced a fumble.  He has now played in 97 games in his NFL career and he has made 254 tackles, defensed 12 passes, has 1.5 sacks, forced 3 fumbles and he has 5 interceptions (1 he has returned for a TD).  Boiman will also give the Steelers depth at linebacker.  To make room on the roster for Ivy and Boiman the Steelers have waived 28-year old CB Keiwan Ratliff and 24-year old linebacker Donovan Woods.  Ratliff played in 8 games for the Steelers this season and he made 9 tackles.  Woods only played in 1 game in which he made 1 tackle.  Woods will be signed to the practice squad if he clears waivers.  Something had to be done on the kickoff team which is allowing 26.9 yards per return this season and opponents have returned 4 kickoffs for TDs.  These were solid signings for the Steelers and they hope that Ivy and Boiman will help clean up the mess.

UPDATE:  The Steelers have released Corey Ivy after just one game as he didn’t make any tackles.
