He's still fairly young, is a free agent, and the redskins are the team he presumably grew up rooting for. If he felt he had a chance to come here, get starting money, and actually get to PLAY for the team he loves, why stay in pittsburg and sit on a bench the rest of his career?

There are only a few teams where BL could go and be a starter and the Skins are one of those teams for sure but in the big picture BL is a back up and if one is going to be a back up the Steelers arent a bad team to back up on.
