It sure is sounding more and more like the Pittsburgh Steelers are seriously considering re-signing unrestricted free agent tackle Alejandro Villanueva.
Villanueva, who has yet to get any known or reported heavy interest so far from other teams in free agency, might just have been asked by the Steelers to take his home in Pittsburgh off the market. At least that’s the rumor that Ed Bouchette of The Atlantic seems to be running with as of Monday morning.
“I haven’t written this because I haven’t got it confirmed,” Bouchette explained on 93.7 The Fan Monday morning. “It was told to me by one person that I have reason to believe knows it so I’m just going to throw this out, that he [Villanueva] supposedly had his house up for sale and was going to leave and the Steelers went to him and said, ‘eh, not so fast there’ and pulled the for sale sign down.
