The Facts: The Steelers announced Tuesday night that they have signed Vick to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed. In a corresponding move, the Steelers have placed quarterback Bruce Gradkowski on season-ending injured reserve.

Diehards Line: Vick signs with the Steelers on the same day he visited with the team. Vick, 35, spent last season with the New York Jets, where he played sparingly behind starter Geno Smith. As NFL.com suggested, this is a much better situation for Vick, who won't encounter any of the drama he faced playing under the spotlight in New York. Ben Roethlisberger is the clear-cut starter, and Vick should have time to get comfortable as the backup option in a new offense. This isn't the first time the Steelers have flirted with Vick: The team expressed interest in the quarterback after Vick's release from prison in 2009. Vick came on Pittsburgh's radar after Gradkowski suffered a hand injury against the Packers that will require surgery.
