One day after safety Ryan Clark visited the Miami Dolphins, he decided to sign a contract with, not the Dolphins, but the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, his final decision is to wear back the Steelers jersey, and it was reported that he will get a four-year deal.
"My plan was to retire a Steeler. It took a little longer than I wanted it to get this deal done," Clark said. "But I think in the end, both sides got what they wanted."
Clark was expected to sign with the Dolphins; he sounded enthusiastic about that prospect when he spoke with the Miami Herald on Sunday during his visit. I guess the Steelers made some attractive offer to the safety who helped them win the Super Bowl in 2009.
The Steelers also plan to sign free agent wide receiver Antwaan Randle EI, who was with the Steelers for his first four seasons but spent the last four seasons with the Washington Redskins. When he was with the Steelers, Randle El was a key contributor to the team’s 2005 Super Bowl championship. Having 50 receptions for 530 yards and no touchdowns last year, he was released by the Redskins this offseason although there are still three years left on his seven-year contract.

Steelers won over Broncos 28-10 with Carter replacing Clark
Two years ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers starting safety Ryan Clark could not finish the game in Denver and ended his season with spleen and gall bladder cut in operations. This season, he visited with his team to Denver again and was able to return with team in full health.
He did not play, and he even did not wear Steelers jersey, but it is just as exciting to witness his team winning over the Broncos and his replacement, Tyron Carter, contributed key interceptions in helping the team to their fifth straight win, taking the first interception 48 yards for a touchdown.
That is good enough. Even if Clark was a bit unhappy with Coach Mike Tomlin’s decision to hold him out for the game, he has got over it now. He could did as well or even better than Carter, but the team just has reason to be cautious as Clark nearly died two years ago because of a rare blood disorder that is aggravated by playing in high altitude.
