Urlacher was drafted the year before Jerry Angelo was hired as General Manager, and immediately grabbed a hold of that locker room and ...

Assuming the Steelers are planning to field a roster comprising of at least four Lonely Ends, they will need to come away from this offseason by spending some money on at least two of them. Currently, Antonio Brown and Jerricho Cotchery are the only receivers signed to the roster who saw significant time last season. Restricted free agent Emmanuel Sanders is expected to receive an original round tender offer as an RFA, and Mike Wallace is expected to sign elsewhere. That leaves a few receivers left who had a few cups of coffee with the Steelers left. The oldest, by far, is Plaxico Bu...
