Richard Joseph Seigler (born October 19, 1980) is an American former football linebacker, most recently for the Pittsburgh Steelers NFL franchise. He was drafted out of Oregon State University in 2004 by the San Francisco 49ers, then waived during the 2005 pre-season. In 2006 he was picked up by the Steelers, playing with them during their Super Bowl XL winning season. On April 3, 2008, Seigler signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.
[edit] High School Years
Seigler attended Chaparral H.S. in Las Vegas, Nevada.
[edit] Controversy
In May 2007 a Las Vegas local news affiliate learned that Seigler was under investigation in connection to a prostitution ring operating in the city. He was immediately released from the Steelers practice squad.[1] On May 11, the day after his release, Seigler surrendered himself to Pittsburgh police and U.S. Marshalls and charged with pandering, providing transportation for a prostitute and living off the earnings of a prostitute.[2] The charges were dropped against Seigler in March 2008, and he now wishes to play in the NFL again.[3]
