When 11-year veteran tight end Heath Miller elected to retire this offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers without doubt lost a major component of not simply their offense, but their team dynamic. But the business of football goes on no matter the cast, and the front office moved quickly to find a new cast member in former Chargers tight end Ladarius Green.
The Steelers inked the 25-year-old to a four-year contract worth $20 million for the life of the deal—a deal that, if you take the word of Pro Football Focus with any sort of sincerity, represents perhaps one of the best value contracts of this free agency period.
