Arguably the biggest surprise of the offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers thus far has been losing out on Robert Spillane—presuming that they endeavored to retain him. It is unlikely, however, that they would have offered as much as he got from the Las Vegas Raiders, a two-year, $9 million deal.
He talked in his introductory press conference as a member of the silver and black about his desire to be an every-down player and to wear the green dot, an opportunity that he may get there. He probably wasn’t going to get it in Pittsburgh.
Another interest he’s bringing with him in Las Vegas is exploring every opportunity to improve his craft.
