The Pittsburgh Steelers lost yet another one of their own free agents yesterday when former H-back Will Johnson reportedly agreed to terms with the New York Giants on a two-year contract. While the Steelers have addressed the tight end position, and fullback position, in the draft and free agency over the course of the past two offseasons, there were reports that they maintained interest in retaining Johnson, whom they originally signed as an undrafted free agent in 2012.
In contract to the Steelers, the Giants would seem to have a major need at tight end after their own recent free agent acquisition, Daniel Fells, suffered what is likely a career-ending MRSA infection that required numerous surgeries on his foot and ankle.
