He's in Pittsburgh for the exact same reason Rey came to town. Injury. He knows the playbook already, so he can be active immediately. Pure stop gap measure. I wouldn't be surprised to see Maualuga signed and play two games before being cut again. If he isn't signed, I expect that is because there has been improvement in either Vigil or Burfict's condition.
I would rather bring up Brandon Bell from the Practice Squad then sign Maualuga back here.
I don't care if he knows the system, we are done, lets see what a young guy can do, we know what Rey brings to the table...
He is a block that cannot cover and has even fell off in being a block.
