Have No Fear...

...For the Steelers have re-signed free agent DE Travis Kirschke.

So if Aaron Smith ever goes down again, at least we know we've got one guy who we can rotate to fill the gap...now if only we could find a successor, and/or solid fill in...

Nonetheless, welcome back Travis. Here's to likely finishing your career as a Steeler (he's 33 and we signed him for two more years).

No, no, it's Kirschke. Not Chris Hoke...

PS - meanwhile, the Ravens franchised LB Terrell Suggs, the Chiefs franchised DE Jared Allen, and the Bengals franchised LG Stacy Andrews.
