The Pittsburgh Steelers are bolstering their offensive line with a new signing. They brought in center and guard Brock Hoffman on a one-year deal, right after resigning back-up center Ryan McCollum earlier Friday. Hoffman, a 26-year-old veteran, spent three seasons with the Cowboys playing both positions. He started multiple games there last year, bringing solid experience up front. This move fills a gap left by veteran Isaac Somalo, who left for the Arizona Cardinals on a three-year contract, worth more than $31 million. Steelers fans see it as smart depth ahead of the draft. Earlier reports suggested a $2.5 million dollar pact, but sources denied any offer at the time. Now insiders confirm the deal is done. With Hoffman at 6.4 and 3 under 2 pounds, Pittsburgh gains real flexibility for the 21st overall pick while building. Competition along the line.
