The Pittsburgh Steelers sign QB Troy Smith
The Steelers have signed 27-year old QB Troy Smith to a reserve/future contract. Smith didn’t play at all in 2011. He last played in 2010 with the San Francisco 49ers. Smith has played in 20 games (8 starts) in his first four years in the NFL and he has completed 121 of 234 passes (51.7%) for 1,734 yards with 8 TD passes and 5 INTs (78.5 QB Rating). He also has carried the ball 52 times for 230 yards (4.4 ypc) with 3 TD runs so far in his career. Smith is 4-4 (50%) as a starting QB in the NFL. This signing likely ends Dennis Dixon’s run on the Steelers’ roster.
