The Steelers have one less pending free agent to worry about going into the season as Defensive End Brett Keisel was re-signed today to a 5-year contract. According to KDKA contributor Ed Bouchette of the Post Gazette, Keisel will likely be the final signing before the season begins. The Steelers do not negotiate contract matters during the regular season.

That's bad news for several other players including Willie Parker, Casey Hampton, Jeff Reed, Ryan Clark, Justin Hartwig, and Willie Colon.
