Steelers sign veteran pass rusher Markus Golden, sources say

PITTSBURGH -- After a recent visit to Pittsburgh, veteran pass rusher Markus Golden inked a one-year deal with the Steelers, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Golden, a nine-year veteran, started 14 games for the Arizona Cardinals last season, and he gives the Steelers their highly sought-after veteran depth behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. The Steelers also brought former draft pick Bud Dupree in for a visit earlier this offseason, but he signed with the Atlanta Falcons. Golden, 32, has 68 starts and 47 sacks in a career that includes two stints in Arizona with a stop at the New York Giants in between.
