Steelers Resign DT Montravius Adams
In Week 13 of last season, Montravius Adams went from the New Orleans Saints practice squad, to the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive tackle rotation. After struggling throughout the year to find a run-clogging nose-tackle following the injury to Tyson Alualu, Kevin Colbert signed Adams off the street -- and he immediately became a key contributor down the stretch, starting 4 of the Steelers last 6 contests.
He's only 26 years old, and today, the Steelers resigned him to a 2-year deal worth up to 5 million, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Adams, a former 3rd round pick of the Packers from Auburn, will get a chance to once again compete for a starting job on the black and gold's defensive line. A job he took last season, and never gave back.
