$Signed a contract with the Steelers in December of 2017.
Strong effort to finish the season
LBPittsburgh Steelers
January 6, 2018
Spence, who recorded six tackles (two solo) in the regular-season finale win over the Browns, finished the 2017 regular season season with 19 tackles (12 solo), including one sack in four games.
ANALYSIS
After leaving Pittsburgh to play for Tennessee last season, Spence was re-signed after Ryan Shazier (spine) was lost for the final four games. He did an admirable job down the stretch and, though he is an unrestricted free agent, could return in 2018 depending on Shazier's recovery.

After stints in Tennessee and Pittsburgh, Spence landed a one-year deal with the Colts and figures to begin the season as a starting inside linebacker. Last season with the Titans, the 27-year-old recorded 54 tackles, three sacks, three pass defensed and one forced fumble in 15 contests. Now given an opportunity to be an every-down starter, Spence could be due for career numbers across the board.
Just as it was last season with the drafting of Ryan Shazier, Spence may lose some snaps in 2015 with the selection of Bud Dupree in the first round.
The Steelers' linebacking corps was bolstered by drafting Ryan Shazier, which could cut in to Spence's playing time, limiting his fantasy value.
Spence faces stiff competition at linebacker and is not a lock to make the 53-man roster.
Spence is undersized by NFL standards, but his instincts and athleticism give him a chance to overcome that limitation. More importantly, the Steelers are thin at inside linebacker, where only Larry Foote and Stevenson Sylvester are behind Lawrence Timmons. Sylvester is an intriguing player, but Foote is below average, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he loses to both Spence and Sylvester on the depth chart. If Spence comes out as a starter, expect at least 100 tackles.
