Leftwich OFFICIAL (and New Punter is Signed)

The Steelers have officially announced their signing veteran quarterback Bryan Leftwich and 13-year punter Mitch Berger to one-year deals.

Daunte Culpepper is still also "in the mix." Both Culpepper and Byron Leftwich participated in the morning workout today.

Following the workout, the Steelers went to work with the agents for both players, and it was shortly after the team’s only practice of the day at SaintVincent College that Coach Mike Tomlin announced Leftwich had signed.

“We made an agreement with Byron Leftwich to sign and be a quarterback with the Pittsburgh Steelers,” said Tomlin. “We have some familiarity there, because Ken Anderson, our quarterbacks coach, worked with him down in Jacksonville.”

To add Leftwich and Berger to the roster, Pittsburgh cut lineback Anthony Trucks and wide receiver Gerran Walker.
