It looks like 2 and a-half Pitt players have signed free agent deals with the Steelers.

The Steelers added 19 free agents to their roster Friday, including three with ties to Pitt.

Quarterback Rod Rutherford, linebacker Malcolm Postell and running back Mike Jemison played college ball for the Panthers, though Jemison finished his career at IUP.

Rutherford was a member of the Steelers’ practice squad last season, but injured his foot late in the year and was placed on the reserve/injured list last month. He still accompanied the team to Super Bowl XL in Detroit. Postell and Jemison will try to earn spots on the practice squad or the 53-man roster.

Postell and Jemison were allocated to NFL Europe.

That still is not enough to get me to watch.

It also seems that Pitt WR Coach Aubrey Hill is a candidate for the same position down at the University of Miami. He hasn’t been interviewed, though. Hill played at Florida in the 90s and is from the Miami area.
