The Pittsburgh Steelers are starting to expand their offseason roster now as it was announced on Wednesday that safety Ross Ventrone, tackle Joe Long, guard Justin Cheadle, wide receiver Derek Moye, wide receiver Bert Reed and cornerback Isaiah Green have all been signed to reserve/future contracts.
Long, Cheadle, Moye, Reed and Green all ended the season on the Steelers practice squad while Ventrone was a free agent after being bounced on and off the New England patriots 53 man roster and practice squad several times over the course of the last three years.
Future contracts do not kick in until the new league year begins and the Steelers are expected to announce several more signings like this over the course of the next several weeks.
