The Facts: According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Steelers signed Gradkowski to a three-year deal Wednesday morning.

Diehards Line:The Steelers were scrambling for quarterbacks last year when Ben Roethlsiberger was injured, so adding Gradkowski makes sense. The local product, who played for the Bengals last season, set up a quick visit. The Steelers needed to get younger there, with elders Charlie Batch and Byron Leftwich both unrestricted free agents. As PFT's Darin Gantt put it: "The 30-year-old Gradkowski lends a bit of stability there, rather than the Band-aid and hope plan they had before."
