The Facts:
Last week, a reader tried to tell us that the Steelers would soon be signing Brooks. We ran the thing up the flagpole with some of our sources, and couldn't corroborate it. But it's true. While the Steelers have not yet signed Brooks, John Clayton of ESPN.com reports (by way of KFFL) that the Steelers have visited with Brooks.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT editor Mike Florio suggests, Brooks would presumably be brought on board to compete with Charlie Batch to serve as the primary backup to Ben Roethlisberger. Florio adds that Tomlin likes Brooks in part because they both are from the same general area in Virginia.
