Despite visiting with the Miami Dolphins earlier this offseason, former Los Angeles Chargers star pass rusher Melvin Ingram is taking his talents to the Steel City and is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Ingram, 32, had been biding his time as a free agent before choosing his preferred destination. It’s unclear as to whether Miami ever made Ingram an offer, as the team is currently strapped for cap space (about $5.2 million in space per overthecap.com) and usually keeps some cap room left over for the regular season in case the front office needs to make in-season signings. Ingram had also visited the Kansas City Chiefs before landing with the Steelers.
