    Jonathan Dwyer is a man on a mission with a point to prove. First things first, show the Steelers money is not an issue, as they give him the ultimate opportunity to be a premier back in the NFL

    ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted: "An upset of today: Steelers RB Jonathan Dwyer signed his sixth-round tender for $1.323 million. Didn't want to wait. Wanted to prove point."

    Dwyer was a restricted free-agent, and the Steelers offered him the minimum required tender level which still requires a third party to surrender a sixth round pick should they offer him a better deal and the Steelers not match. Some feel the amount of the tender over-estimates his value, but in salary cap reality it is still a fair value for a starting running back.

    Should Dwyer excel while no longer playing in the shadow of Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman, his 2013 season will determine whether Pittsburgh will offer him a new contract at this time next year.
