The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed San Francisco 49ers free agent wide receiver Arnaz Battle to a three-year, $3.9 million deal, a league source confirmed.

The deal was first reported by the Sacramento Bee.

The Steelers needed reinforcements at wide receiver.

Battle, 30, has caught 178 passes for 2,150 yards and 11 touchdowns in seven NFL seasons.

Another reason they need depth at wide receiver is because Limas Sweed has been dealing with undisclosed personal problems.
