Art Rooney II says Pittsburgh Steelers to remain relatively quiet in free agency

Pittsburgh Steelers fans who have been puzzled and frustrated by the team's relative inactivity during free agency won't like what president Art Rooney II said on Friday.

"At this point we're not expecting a lot more activity out there, but we will continue to look," Rooney said.

The Steelers have done minimal shopping since the free-agent signing period started on March 10.

They signed running back DeAngelo Williams to a two-year, $4 million contrast last Friday but he is the only outside free agent the Steelers have signed.

They hosted cornerbacks Patrick Robinson and Sterling Moore earlier this week but Robinson signed with the San Diego Chargers and Moore signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cornerback and outside linebacker remain big needs for the Steelers and their most significant moves at the latter are re-signing Arthur Moats to a three-year, $7.5 million contract and signing Canadian Football League star Shawn Lemon.

Pittsburgh re-signed cornerback Antwon Blake to a one-year, $1.554 million contract but lost Brice McCain, who signed a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins after intercepting three passes last year for the Steelers.

Free-agent signings have slowed considerably after a frenzied first week. The Steelers hope to find bargains like they did last year when they signed Moats and McCain to one-year, veteran minimum deals.

"We're still looking at what the options are and will continue to do that," Rooney said. "If there is a player out there that makes sense for us to pursue we'll do that."
