Trai Essex resigns with Steelers

Just got the text from KDKA a few minutes...it's a depth move and nothing else at this point. He hasn't proven able enough to take over a starting spot so atleast we keep some depth at Tackle.... yippee

He knows the system at least. Well, he's been in the system anyways...lol

essex is a guard...i hate that he was drafted and practices as a tackle....this is an ok move for depth, i guess

you hardly ever see him play, but when he does he has always done well. I think it is a good insurance move.

He tested the FA market and couldn't find any starting job it would seem so why not come back and play backup on a team that has a chance to get another title..makes sense to me.

Great most of the OL will be back...lol For real I could have cared less if Essex signed as well....He hasn't lived up to his 3rd round draft status and really is just bench material......I was hoping Essex and Kemoeatu would have been gone..lol
