The Steelers re-signed another one of their free-agent linebackers Monday, but it wasn’t James Harrison.
Veteran linebacker Keyaron Fox, a special teams standout last season, agreed to a two-year, $1.8 million contract.
The Steelers have re-signed two of their own linebackers, Fox and Andre Frazier, whose main contributions are on special teams.
Harrison, a two-time Pro Bowler and reigning NFL defensive player of the year, has yet to agree with the Steelers on a contract extension. He is signed through the 2009 season.
Other free agents to re-sign with the Steelers are starting guard Chris Kemoeatu, reserve guard Trai Essex and reserve cornerback Fernando Bryant.
Fox, 27, made $650,000 last season.
Three prospects visit
The Steelers entertained three college prospects yesterday who play at positions the Steelers are considering with their early draft selections: California center Alex Mack, LSU guard Herman Johnson and Southern Cal defensive lineman Fili Moala.
Mack is considered the top center available in the draft and a potential first-round selection. Johnson (6-foot-71/8, 356 pounds) is the largest player in the draft.
The Steelers have hosted 10 draft-eligible prospects.
