The Steelers are expected to end their pursuit of free agent Ahmad Bradshaw after drafting Le'Veon Bell.

The Packers also stole Eddie Lacy at the end of round two, drying up another potential Bradshaw landing spot. He's going to end up accepting a clear-cut backup role. Bradshaw would make a lot of sense reuniting with old Giants assistant Mike Sullivan in Tampa Bay. Doug Martin needs a solid backup.

Profootballtalk reports Ahmad Bradshaw (foot surgeries) has received "full clearance" for offseason workouts, and that the Steelers "remain interested."

Bradshaw's "full clearance" conveniently comes before the Steelers have the opportunity to select a running back on the second or third day of the draft. Bradshaw was expected to make a second visit to the Steel City before the draft, but it's unclear if it ever took place. With one of the league's most unsettled running back corps, drafting a runner shouldn't preclude the Steelers from taking a flier on Bradshaw.

Asked about a possible Ahmad Bradshaw return, Giants RBs coach Jerald Ingram said it's the young guys' time to shine.

He means David Wilson and Andre Brown. "I'm ready to coach these two young guys and I'm excited for what their heart is," Ingram said. "In my mind, it's their time to shine, but they also have to compete with whoever they decide to bring in the room." Bradshaw is going to end up signing somewhere that actually wants him to have a role. The Broncos, Packers, Steelers and Bengals all have far greater needs at running back and have shown interest.

PFT reports the Bengals are interested in free agent Ahmad Bradshaw (foot surgeries), and that a visit could take place within the next "week or two."

Bradshaw has generated plenty of interest, but still isn't healthy enough to sign. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported earlier Wednesday that Bradshaw is expected to make a second visit to Pittsburgh before the draft. He's also drawn interest from Denver and Green Bay. Bradshaw would be a nice upgrade on BenJarvus Green-Ellis, but the two would likely work in tandem.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Steelers plan to meet with free agent Ahmad Bradshaw (foot surgeries) again before the draft.

The sides had an introductory meeting late last month, but Bradshaw wasn't healthy enough to sign. The pre-draft meeting will be critical for Bradshaw's chances of landing in Pittsburgh, as the Steelers could decide to go the draft route instead if he's still not healthy.
Apr 10 - 7:10 PM

The Denver Post reports the Broncos took a "long look" at free agent Ahmad Bradshaw, and have not ruled out giving him a short-term deal.

As it was with the Steelers, the issue is Bradshaw's foot. Reporter Jeff Legwold expects the Broncos to sign "at least" one more back who could operate as a potential starter. Per Legwold, the Broncos were interested in Shonn Greene before he signed with the Titans, and are eyeing Michigan State's Le'Veon Bell in the draft. Willis McGahee is in grave danger of being released.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports the Steelers let free agent Ahmad Bradshaw (foot surgeries) leave without a contract because he's "still lame."

They weren't talking about his record collection. Per reporter Ed Bouchette, Bradshaw is still in some sort of protective boot after undergoing his fifth career foot operation in January. The meeting was termed as a "get-to-know-you session," with a contract never a real possibility. The Steelers are planning to check up on Bradshaw in a "few weeks."
Mar 29 - 12:52 PM

Free agent Ahmad Bradshaw will visit the Steelers again "in a few weeks" after he left without a contract Thursday.

The Steelers clearly saw something they didn't like in Bradshaw's physical. They'll review his progress in a few weeks. Bradshaw could still end up as the replacement for Rashard Mendenhall, but it's going to take some time. The fact that Bradshaw wasn't healthy enough to sign Thursday means he might hold off on making any more visits for the foreseeable future. Bradshaw had his fifth career foot surgery in late January. It's not surprising his market is slow.
Mar 29 - 8:32 AM

Free agent Ahmad Bradshaw left his visit with the Steelers without a contract.

"Steelers are keeping the lines of communication with him open," reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. Bradshaw underwent a physical on Thursday afternoon, and Pittsburgh was expected to push hard to sign him. They may have seen something they didn't like, or Bradshaw might want to see what else is out there. The Packers were linked to the 27-year-old a week and a half ago.

Free agent Ahmad Bradshaw is undergoing a physical with the Steelers.

NFL.com's Aditi Kinkhabwala says if everything checks out, the Steelers will attempt to sign the 27-year-old. One of the toughest backs in the league, Bradshaw would fit nicely in Pittsburgh. He also knows how to pick up a blitz.

NFL.com's Aditi Kinkhabwala reports the Steelers "would really like" to sign free agent Ahmad Bradshaw.

Bradshaw visited the Steelers on Wednesday, his first visit of free agency. He's recovering from foot surgery and by waiting to make visits until he shed his walking boot, Bradshaw likely missed the bigger running back money. The 27-year-old would be a fine fit in Pittsburgh, but he may have more visits lined up.

Free agent Ahmad Bradshaw will visit the Steelers Wednesday.

Recovering from his fifth career foot surgery, Bradshaw held off on making free-agent visits until he shed his walking boot last week. The physical will be the most important part of Bradshaw's Steelers visit. Bradshaw may go on to visit Green Bay if he escapes the Steel City without a contract. Though he's still only 27 years old, Bradshaw will have to be amenable to cheap offers.
Mar 26 - 9:17 PM

Ahmad Bradshaw (foot surgeries) has shed his walking boot, but is waiting until he's close to full health to begin making visits.

Speaking in a Wednesday radio interview, Bradshaw also said "there's a chance" he re-signs with the Giants, and that the Jets have expressed interest. He's holding out hope of signing as a No. 1 running back. In addition to the Jets, Bradshaw has also drawn interest from the Steelers and Packers.
Mar 20 - 5:24 PM

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Steelers and Packers have expressed interest in free agent Ahmad Bradshaw.

They're the first teams Bradshaw has been linked to since being released by the Giants last month. Bradshaw (foot surgeries) was cleared to begin visiting teams two weeks ago. Both Green Bay and Pittsburgh could use a jolt of talent in the running game, and Bradshaw — despite his injury history — is easily the top remaining free-agent back. He could soon start lining up visits.
