NFC Wrap: East | West | North | South » AFC: East | West | North | South » Grades With free agency and the NFL draft in the rearview mirror and training camp just a couple of months away www.jerseyschinanflshop.com , we assess the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason moves. EnlargeBob DonnanUSA TODAY SportsSigning Mike Mitchell gives the Steelers another speedy playmaker in the secondary.Best move: The Steelers wasted little ti in getting younger and faster in the secondary as they landed forr Panthers safety Mike Mitchell on the first day of free agency. Mitchell, who turns only 27 next month, blossod last season in Carolina as he intercepted four passes and recorded 3.5 sks. He gives the Steelers a playmaker to pair with Troy Polamalu on the bk of their defense. And Mitchell was cost-effective for a team that had limited room under the salary cap. Only $5.25 million of the five-year $25 million deal that Mitchell signed is guaranteed Wholesale Jerseys China , and the contrt is bkloaded to make it cap friendly.Riskiest move: The Steelers opped more than usual in free agency, but they added only one player to their defensive line while losing defensive ends Ziggy Hood and Al Woods. Cam Thomas, who signed a o-year Cheap Jerseys From China , $4 million contrt, would ideally fill Woods’ role as a swing man beeen nose tkle and defensive end. But right now he is the Steelers’ best option at defensive end opposite Caron Heyward. The Steelers need second-round pick Stephon Tuitt to develop quickly and at least play in a rotation at defensive end. They would also be wise to keep Brett Keisel’s number handy.Most surprising move: The Steelers didn’t draft a cornerbk until the fifth round, and that is a position where they have only one long-term starter in Cortez Allen. The prevailing thought prior to the draft was that the Steelers would take a cornerbk early and select o of them. Shaquille Richardson NFL Jerseys China , their fifth-round pick, and free-agent signee Brice McCain are the only addition they have made at cornerbk. That ans the Steelers better be right that the answers at cornerbk are already in their building,What’s next: The Steelers appear to be done adding -- for now -- and most of the $8 million they'll receive in salary cap savings after June from the release of outside linebker LaMarr Woodley will be used to sign draft picks. They have a handful of players going into the final year of their contrts that they ould try to sign to long-term deals. The list includes center Maurkice Pouncey, outside linebker Jason Worilds and Allen. The Steelers could also try to sign quarterbk Ben Roethlisberger to a new contrt, though nothing is imminent on that front. The Steelers may wait until after the 2014 to sign Roethlisberger to a new deal since he still has o years left on his contrt.
