Charlie Batch will sign a one-year contract with the Steelers Wednesday, a source close to the quarterback said this evening.

Batch, who is an unrestricted free agent, will earn $745,000 in 2009 plus a $50,000 signing bonus.

His signing comes days after veteran Byron Leftwich signed with Tampa Bay as a free agent. Leftwich was Ben Roethlisberger's backup last year after Batch broke his collar bone in a preseason game.
