The Steelers have re-signed veteran tackle Max Starks to a one-year deal to give the team’s battered offensive line some much-needed depth.
The Steelers cut the seven-year veteran in the preseason in a salary cap move. Starks started 68 games with the Steelers between 2004-10 but missed the second half of the 2010 season after suffering a neck injury.
Pittsburgh made room for Starks by waiving second-year lineman Chris Scott.
The 29-year-old Starks hasn’t played in nearly a year, but the Steelers desperately need help along the line. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has already been sacked 14 times this season.

Bringing back Starks will do little to help the offensive line. However it is still an improvement. Now bring back Adams.

Starks is better than everyone else on the front line tho and i agree about getting big FLo back.
