    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>PITTSBURGH ? The Steelers announced today that veteran quarterback Charlie Batch has signed a contract and will rejoin the team. Financial terms of the deal were not released.Batch, an eight-year veteran who made the Steelers? 53-man roster coming out of training camp, was released last Saturday (Sept. 10) so the team could add depth at linebacker for its season opener versus the Tennessee Titans. He will serve as the Steelers? third quarterback.Batch was released by the Steelers so the team could sign rookie outside linebacker Andre Frazier, who was on the team?s practice squad. Frazier, an undrafted rookie from Cincinnati, registered two tackles, his first career sack and forced a fumble against the Titans.The Steelers made room for Batch on their roster by releasing rookie wide receiver Nate Washington, an undrafted rookie free agent from Tiffin (Ohio). Washington made the Steelers? 53-man roster after leading the team with eight receptions for 108 yards (13.5 avg.) in the preseason.</div>Steelers.com StoryA good move, he helped the Steelers to everything they did offensively in the preseason. The only thing I can say is that I think they should try to trade Tommy Maddox (Bears?) for a rookie, or some cash.

    no. maddox is a SICK backup if you asked me, why get rid of him? and by "for a rookie" do you mean Orton? that wouldn't happen, i think he's the Bears' futureAnd im not sure a team can trade a player to another team for $.
