... Steelers re-upped with another veteran yesterday, signing defensive end Brett Keisel to a five-year deal. The deal will keep Keisel under contract with the Steelers through the 2013 season.
The Keisel signing comes just before the teams self imposed deadline of the beginning of the regular season for contract negotiations. Brett has gotten use to waiting to the last minute after being drafted with the 242nd pick of the draft.
Keisel was drafted by the Steelers in the seventh round of the 2002 draft. He made the team that season as a special teams guy, and eventually made a name for himself because of the athleticism he showed throwing around his 285-pound frame.
The first investment paid off better than anyone ever expected for a seventh round choice. If the most recent investment brings in the same dividends, the Steelers prudence will once again bring them a great return in the long term.
