Brett Keisel says, "Show me the money Bitches!"
Brett "The Diesel" Keisel has resigned with the Steelers for the next five years, or the remainder of his career, which ever comes first. I am ecstatic after hearing this news because I felt that The Diesel should have been an off season priority considering the lack of depth along the defensive line. Even with the addition of Hood, there is still not enough depth along the line, and losing Keisel at the end of the season would have been a travesty. Financial details of the deal were not available at the time of this posting, but I will post them when they become available.
In other news, last years starting right guard Darnell Stapleton has been placed on the Injured Reserve list, ending his season. Apparently He had arthroscopic surgery on his knee to remove loose cartilage during the preseason, which was supposed to sideline him for about three or four weeks. However, the knee hasn't responded the way the training staff would have hoped. Not sure of the affect this will have on the offensive line. Stapleton was playing center during training camp when Hartwig showed up with a busted big toe from constant pirouetting. He has since returned to practice and is continuing to hold in the endzone. It looks like Trai Essex will step in to replace Stapleton for the season, barring any injury.
