The Steelers have signed 30-year old WR Arnaz Battle to a 3-year deal.  Battle played in 15 games for the 49ers last season and he caught 5 passes for 40 yards (8.0 avg).  Battle also returned 3 kickoffs for 68 yards (22.7 avg) and 21 punts for 61 yards (2.9 avg) last season.  Battle also helps out on coverage teams as he had 9 tackles and he forced a fumble last season.  Battle has now played in 88 games in his NFL career and he has caught 178 passes for 2,150 yards (12.1 avg) with 11 TD grabs.  Battle also returned 64 punts for 446 yards (7.0 avg) with a TD return and 22 kickoffs for 441 yards (20.0 avg) in his NFL career.  Battle has 33 tackles and he has forced a fumble in his NFL career.  Battle is no more than a #4 WR but he is a hell of a lot better than Limas Sweed.  The Steelers really inked Battle for his special teams work and for that reason I like this signing.
