Steelers News: Brown, Williams, Transactions
By Kim Myers
The Steelers players head into the offseason for recovery and the coaches head out to prepare for free agency and the draft.
Steelers season never truly ends for Steeler Nation so while the offseason starts to heat up we’ll be busy looking for mentions of your Black & Gold so we’ve got you covered. Here’s your Steelers Morning Huddle for Tuesday, Mar. 8th.
He just likes dancing
Whelp, it’s official. Steelers receiver Antonio Brown sat with ESPN’s Hannah Storm to formally announce that he’ll be on the 22nd season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
Brown explained his preparation for the show has involved improving his posture and he’s hoping to improve his football skills with his dance moves.

"“Being able to move with good posture. As a football player, we want to move as explosive as we can with no technique and be as fast and fluid as we can. Just learning how to move with good posture and keeping my shoulders down.” – Antonio Brown"

Who else just pictured Antonio Brown in the scene from Dirty Dancing where Patrick Swayze is correcting Jennifer Grey’s “spaghetti arms”? Just me? Oh ok. Anyway it’s a thing now, he’s going to dance for the mirror ball trophy thing.
Petty, party of one
Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams is an entertaining Twitter follow. Monday he was especially entertaining when he went on a petty tirade about Peyton Manning. Anyone taking him seriously should be ashamed of themselves. Several news outlets actually reported on it as if it were news. Here are a sampling of his tweets:
Look Peyton is a hall of fame qb who couldn't play dead in a western last year but career over all is astonishing but last year was 💩😷

My mood:😂😂😂😂😂 I want to thank my fantasy owners and those that set my Twitter account up and the ones that put up with my petty ways #umad?

For the record, if another player does the same thing on the day Ben Roethlisberger retires I’ll have a completely different opinion on it because that’s how petty works.
Transactions
The Steelers made some roster transactions on Monday ahead of free agency. They signed safety Robert Golden and receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey to multi-year deals to keep them from hitting the free agency market. Looks like they’re locking up the deals that will be the easiest to make first.
Next: Steelers Free Agency Wish List
I think they are both good, safe signings. I’d say there will be more signings of players like Steve McLendon and William Gay before the free agency period begins on Wednesday.
