Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed free agent S Ryan Clark (Redskins) to a four-year contract. No financial terms were disclosed.

Good luck, Ryan.

OH NO!

He was a warrior and hard hitter. We will miss him..........

I agree Brud. Good luck Ryan Clark. You were kind of a surprise success story in Washington. Just don't let Troy "pretty boy" Polamalu outshine you.

Ryan you get my 10 gun salute. I thought he was one of the most underrated redskins. Him and taylor meshed well together. Good luck to him in pittsburgh.

hmm on the other hand we don't have a smiley of a circley shooting a gun. Oh well.

I thought we had one with a smiley wearing a blindfold and smoking a cigarette. Hopefully they paid him well. Firing squad!

He may get cut. I would be shocked if he starts for them.

70Chip · 03-14-2006, 08:47 PM

All the best to Ryan Clarke. He should supplant Hope in the starting lineup.

Good Luck to Ryan Clark. I will always remember that int. he had against Philly this year that sealed the win for us.

TrustinGibbs · 03-14-2006, 09:02 PM

Good luck to Clark. He grew up here and became a really solid player. Hate to see him go.

he wouldn't have signed if he wasn't going to start... that's the only thing he was looking for. hope is leaving and he's the cheap replacement.

MonkFan4Life · 03-14-2006, 09:29 PM

I feel the same way Big C !

Well there goes my depth on Madden next year!

People get signed all the time that don't start. You think that he went to the current Superbowl champs and said that he wouldn't sign unless he is starting?

Don't forget, he was flat out cut by the Giants.

i think his point was that clark only went there because he knew he would start, otherwise he would have just stayed here. im guessing he was told he would be the starter, because otherwise it wouldnt make sense him leaving here

Just so that everyone knows, Clark signed a four-year contracts, and most contracts of this length come with some sort of signing bonus. So essentially, I do not think that Ryan Clark has to worry about being cut (especially because the guy plays hard). Starting may be another issue, but I see Ryan Clark starting alongside Polamalu next year.
