GREAT possibilities for Troy. DELIGHTED to see this.

Congrats Troy...wish he didn't have to play for the team I hate the most, but at least he is getting another shot.

Glad he got signed, would be surprised if he played much (if at all).. still good to see him back in the league.

Yep, good to see he kept working on his goal and didn't just move on to other things.

Just keep a good name and work hard and the league will keep you around.

If Batch is still around (I have no idea, is him leaving part of the reason Smith got signed?) that would be a great mentor to learn under.

Dixon and Batch are both free agents. I think Roethlisberger and Leftwich are the only two QBs on the roster under contract.

I remember when I was younger I was a crazy fan of Troy Smith. I still have a BCS jersey with his number on it!

Ryan: What are Troy Smiths chances of making the team?

Ed Bouchette: Only chance would be as a No. 3 QB, and he'd have to knock out Charlie Batch for that.

Looks like the league minimum for a sixth year guy is $700,000. Anyone know how much he gets when camp starts? Separate salary for camp? 700K pro-rated by the months he is in camp and pre-season?

I remember when I was younger I was a crazy fan of Rod Gerald.

Still my personal favorite Buckeye, along with #33.

Among the pivots on the list, which gives the Als the player?s exclusive rights should they play in the CFL, are Troy Smith and Russell Wilson.

Smith, who played collegiately for Ohio State and captured the Heisman Trophy as a senior in 2006, has been on the Als? list since 2005. Signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in January, Smith was selected by Baltimore in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL draft and has played sparingly as a pro. Indeed, the 27-year-old was with Omaha of the United Football League last season.

Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith hoping to revive NFL career with Steelers
By Associated Press, Updated: Tuesday, May 29

PITTSBURGH ? Former Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith is hoping to revive his NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Smith hasn?t played in the NFL since being cut by the San Francisco 49ers following the 2010 season. He last played with the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League.

Smith will have to beat out veterans Byron Leftwich and Charlie Batch to make the team, but he says he?s up to the challenge. Smith captured the Heisman in 2006 after leading Ohio State to a spot in the national championship game.

The 27-year-old Smith says he?s not sure why his career hasn?t panned out, but doesn?t view his Heisman win as a burden because of all the doors it opened for him on both a personal and professional level.
