Steelers sign wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud, release Saeed Blacknall

The Steelers are reportedly signing wide receiver and return man Ray-Ray McCloud. This per Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network:

The head scratching aspect of this transaction for the Steelers is how the team feels they need help at the wide receiver/return specialist.
