When the Miami Dolphins signed former Steeler cornerback Brice McCain, fans were up in arms, wondering who was going to play in the secondary for the Steelers this year.
Well, the answer could be former first-round pick Patrick Robinson, who is planning to visit the Steelers this weekend, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport.

Robinson does have other teams interested, though Rapoport did not mention who.
ESPN.com mentioned two days ago that the Steelers had interest in the former Saint, and Behind the Steel Curtain reports that Pittsburgh is one of five teams interested in the corner.
The five-year vet has spent his whole career in the Nola, and last year, he started 14 games for the Saints, picking off two passes and combined for 39 tackles on the season.
Robinson had his best season in 2012, when he started all 16 games, and finished the season with three interceptions and 64 combined tackles.
If the Steelers make a move to sign Robinson, it would be the second free agent signing of the weekend, as earlier Friday evening, the Steelers inked former Panthers running back to a two-year deal.
