The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to sign Melvin Ingram to a one-year contract.

"I met with Coach [Mike] Tomlin," Ingram told NFL reporter Josina Anderson. "You can tell he's very involved and a players' coach. That's what stood out to me. He wants to win, and that is what I am on.

"My role is my role. He just told me to come in and be me. Everyone knows how I play."

Ingram, a 2012 first-round pick, had spent his nine-year career with the Chargers, racking up 49 sacks.
