Ex-Steelers WR Limas Sweed signed with the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League. Sweed, the 53rd pick in the 2008 draft, was cut by the Steelers ahead of the 2011 season. In 20 career games, he caught seven passes for 69 yards. He's been bouncing around the CFL for the past three seasons. Sweed's NFL career was derailed by mental miscues and a torn Achilles'.

According to the Newark Star-Ledger, ''it would be a shock'' if free agent WR Limas Sweed signs with the Giants. Sweed has struggled as a tryout player, and is extremely unlikely to be added to the Giants' roster. Still just six months removed from shoulder surgery, Sweed insists he's fully healthy and has no plans to retire. If he doesn't sign somewhere by training camp, however, his NFL career is likely over.

Free agent WR Limas Sweed is participating in Giants rookie minicamp this weekend. Before taking the field, Sweed also revealed to reporters that he recently worked out with the Bears and Bengals. Sweed was the 53rd overall pick in the 2008 draft. His career has been derailed by mental errors and an Achilles' tear.

The Bengals worked out free agent WR Limas Sweed on Friday. The 53rd pick in the 2008 draft, Sweed flamed out quickly with the Steelers after a poor rookie season and torn Achilles'. He was out of football in 2011. If Sweed is back to 100 percent, he's worth one last shot at age 27.

Steelers waived WR Limas Sweed from injured reserve. After three-plus ugly years in Pittsburgh, Sweed is free. His shoulder injury was not expected to me major, so it will be interesting to see if any team takes a flier. The No. 53 overall pick in the 2008 draft is 6'4 and had good speed when he broke into the league.

Steelers waived/injured WR Limas Sweed. Sweed was dealing with a minor shoulder injury, but he had no shot of making the team from jump street. And once the Steelers signed Jerricho Cotchery, there wasn't much reason to keep Sweed around. The 2008 No. 53 overall pick has been a major bust, catching just seven passes during his three years as a Steeler.

Steelers WR Limas Sweed (Achilles surgery) claims to be "110 percent" physically and mentally entering training camp. Sweed is already trying to convince the coaching staff that Plaxico Burress isn't needed because he has plenty of size. It's not a very convincing argument. Sweed has been a full-blown bust for three years, and he's not a good bet to return to pre-injury form coming off a torn Achilles.
