Today the Steelers signed their first free agent. This one comes with a familiar last name. Watt.

The deal will pay Watt 9.75 million over three years. Watts efforts on special teams were surely a key factor in the Steelers making the move on him. He had 16 tackles on special teams, the same amount as Tyler Matakevich had last season for Pittsburgh.
