Why doesn’t that fill me with anticipation?

Hopefully he has enough left in the tank to be a solid backup.

So he has some experience in this Defense.

I like the move – He’s a big body with Steeler Experience – plus the shelf life on DTs seems pretty good. I think he’ll be a nice piece moving forward.

or two of knowledge of the browns playbook.

like when we get a player from a team we are going play. Even if only for a cup of coffee, you can usually garner good info from these guys with knowledge of an opponents play book and huddle.
This is the type of “cheating” that I condone as opposed to what Bellicheat* and the Pats* do/did on a regular basis.

Was Roye picked up by and then released by the Eagles, or was he just released by the Browns?

BTW – I like the move, which is to say, we need all the help we can get on D-line and having a solid vet come off the bench and play some downs each game would be great – assuming he is still in football shape.

It looks like Roye has been a decent starter, but riddled with injuries lately. He had a decent number of tackles last year for how little he played, which tells me he hasn’t completely dropped off. He’s obviously not a great solution, but if he somehow stayed healthy, he could contribute. Does anyone know if he played more DE or NT?

By the way, he was cut before the Browns made their DL trades, so that speaks a little more loudly about his injury issues.

Browns fans were hoping to bring him back for cheap. Not that we needed him, but if a starter goes down, it would’ve been nice depth.

That’s all he should be for the Steelers though: depth. The past few years, he couldn’t go a couple of games without suffering an injury. And with how poor our defensive line has been in years’ past, that meant starting a Simon Fraser (yikes!).
