Wisniewski, a veteran offensive lineman who helped the win the Super Bowl last season, has signed a two-year deal with the Steelers, on Wednesday.Wisniewski is the second outside free agent Pittsburgh has signed; the team came to terms with former fullback -- younger brother of Steelers OLB T.J. Watt -- earlier this week. The signing of Wisniewski will help the Steelers replenish their offensive line after losing B.J. Finney (who signed a two-year deal with the Seahawks) and (who retired Thomas Bryant Jersey following an 11-year career) earlier this week.A 10-year veteran, Wisniewski played high school football at Pittsburgh's Central Catholic before attending Penn State, helping the win a share of the Big Ten title as a junior. The next season, he earned first-team All-Big Ten honors after switching from guard to center during spring practice. Selected by the with the 48th overall pick in the 2011, Wisniewski started in each of his 61 career games with Oakland.After spending one season with the in 2015, Wisniewski, who predominately lined up at center during his first five NFL seasons, switched over to left guard after signing with the during the 2016 offseason. A year later, Wisniewski was starting in the Super Bowl, helping the Eagles upset the in Super Bowl LIII.After a succe sful three-year run in Philadelphia, Wisniewski spent the past two seasons with the Chiefs, helping Kansas City capture its first Super Bowl win in 50 years this past February. The Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV, helped the Chiefs score three unanswered touchdowns in the game's final six minutes.Wisniewski, 30, joins a Pittsburgh offensive line that has been considered among the best in football over the past half decade. The unit is anchored by perennial Pro Bowl center , two-time All-Pro guard , and two-time Pro Bowl left tackle . Pittsburgh's offensive line also consists of , starting tackle and reserve tackle , who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers earlier this week.Feiler, the team's starting right tackle last season, might move over to left guard following Foster's retirement, with Banner and Okorafor competing for the open spot at right tackle. The 30-year-old Wisniewski, who has started in 103 regular-season games over the course of his career, will be part of this mix as well. Troy Brown Jersey
