Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Pittsburgh native, a six-year NFL veteran, will sign the deal before the Friday morning start to the team's first mandatory mini-camp under new coach Mike Tomlin. According to ESPN's Len Pasquarelli, the Steelers hope that either Barlow or Najeh Davenport can serve as a complement to Willie Parker and be the kind of late-game "closer" that Jerome Bettis was in the waning stages of his career.
