The Facts:
Leftwich has been talking to one unnamed team other than the Steelers, who have told him they would like to sign him for another year. He has found little interest in him as a starting quarterback in the NFL. If he does not get that chance, he has said he would like to rejoin the Steelers.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Steelers want to sign one or both of their veteran backups, Charlie Batch and Leftwich, both of whom are unrestricted free agents. Yet there seems to be no rush on either side to make a move. The Steelers see Dennis Dixon as their backup QB eventually but perhaps not in 2009. Their goal would be to bring all four quarterbacks to camp. But Batch and Leftwich must know that barring an injury, if each signs with the Steelers, one of them stands to be cut because the team wants to keep Dixon.
