Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Post-Gazette staffer Ed Bouchette, Leftwich prefers a one-year contract if he returns to the Steelers. He signed a one-year contract with them in August after Charlie Batch's clavicle was broken in a preseason game. Leftwich and Batch are unrestricted free agents, and HC Mike Tomlin said he'd like to have both return. ... Leftwich's visit to the Buccaneers was his second in less than a week. He visited the Redskins Friday.
