The Pittsburgh Steelers have been making waves in the first round of free agency, showing they're serious about bolstering their roster. They've landed some big names, including Jamel Dean, Rico Dowdle, and Jaquan Brisker. But perhaps the most exciting move was trading for Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., finally addressing their need for a solid WR2.
Their shopping spree didn't stop there. The Steelers also signed punter Cameron Johnston, safety Darnell Savage, and defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day, adding depth and versatility to their lineup.
On the home front, Pittsburgh retained key players like cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. and linebacker Cole Holcomb. They also secured defensive lineman Esezi Otomewo and offensive lineman Jack Driscoll, ensuring continuity and experience remain part of their core.
Even after these significant moves, the Steelers have about $27 million in cap space, according to Spotrac, placing them in the middle of the pack league-wide. The Tennessee Titans, for context, lead the NFL with $79.5 million available.
With draft season approaching, the Steelers need to keep some of that cap space in reserve for their new picks. However, there's still a buzz around Pittsburgh potentially adding another quarterback, with Aaron Rodgers being a name that keeps popping up in conversations.
