The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly signed WR Ray-Ray McCloud on a one-year contract, according to this tweet from Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.
THE # Thieves agreed to the terms of the WR / returning man Ray-Ray McCloud on a one-year contract, the source said. McCloud took part in every game last season, starting in two, and now remains in Pittsburgh.

McCloud was defined to be a restricted free agent. Placing the lowest original round bid on it would cost $ 2.13 million. It is unclear the terms of the agreement that Pittsburgh made, but they will likely bring him back for a cheaper price than that.
A late addition to the training ground, McCloud made the list and brought strength to a kickback game in desperate need of it. He averaged 23.1 yards per kick return and the Steelers finished 11th on the KR average. They have been in last place in that category for the past three years. He also averaged a healthy 10.3 yards per punt return.
A bit piece in the attack, he took 20 passes in 77 yards while carrying the ball four times in 65 yards.
