The Steelers signed defensive end Shawn Lemon after he was released from his CFL contract.
According to the Tribune-Review, Calgary Stampeders general manager (and Pittsburgh native) John Hufnagel said “Shawn has an agreement in place with an NFL club and we are granting him his release in order to allow him to sign a contract immediately rather than waiting until February.”
