Heels, Sox & Steelers

The Steelers and free agency, part 2
Ed Bouchette writes a good article in today's Post-Gazette about how the remainder of free agency is basically a staring contest between teams and players looking for teams. As draft day approaches, some good deals should be availalbe for the Steelers as the demand for players lessens. As an example, Bouchette cites how, a day before the 1994 draft, the Steelers acquired FB John L. Williams for $750,000; a few months earlier he was looking for $2 million a year. Pace wins the race.
