Would Antonio Cromartie be a good fit for the Steelers?

I am not sure about Cromatarie. He's not exactly a shut down corner and he's not better than Revis. He's decent at times, but for him to go to the Steelers, he has to prove why he belongs there. Does he fit in with the style of play on the defense? I am not so sure. The Steelers like to use a lot of blitzing schemes especially with their corners and safeties. I don't know that Cromartie would be effective at that capacity, because even as a regular corner he hasn't done a great deal to cement himself as the best. I think Cromartie will land somewhere but I don't think the Steelers are a good fit. Only because they need a shut down corner like Champ Bailey (interestingly his contract is up in Denver and the Broncos are not considering a new deal or a franchise tag). I say this to say, I don't necessarily like Cromartie going to the Steelers. The Steelers have play makers, and that is what they need.
