DeAngelo Williams to Steelers: Latest Contract Details, Comments and Reaction

Running back DeAngelo Williams has never played a down for an NFL team other than the Carolina Panthers. That will no longer be the case in 2015.

The Steelers confirmed the deal, adding that it's for two years. Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports noted that the deal is for $4 million.

Williams commented on the news via Twitter:

He talked a bit more in-depth about his new team, per Steelers PR/Media Manager Dom Rinelli:

Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun reported the details of Williams' deal:

Williams struggled with his health all year in 2014 and only appeared in six games. He finished with 219 rushing yards and failed to reach the end zone, which was a disappointing effort for a player who ran for 1,515 yards and 18 touchdowns in the 2008 season.

John Hansen of FantasyGuru.com believes you should consider him in fantasy drafts if you're also picking up Le'Veon Bell:

Williams is 31 years old and likely past his prime, but the Steelers won't rely on him to be their every-down back considering superstar Bell is fresh off a 1,361-yard season on the ground.

However, the NFL is a physically grueling league, and having someone of proven quality like Williams as another option only helps Pittsburgh in the depth department.
