Now that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2022 season is over, the team finishing above .500 but failing to make the postseason, we turn our attentions to the offseason and everything that means. One thing that it means is that some stock evaluations are going to start taking on broader contexts, reflecting on a player’s development, either positively or negatively, over the course of the season. Other evaluations will reflect only one immediate event or trend. The nature of the evaluation, whether short-term or long-term, will be noted in the reasoning section below.
Player: DL Renell Wren
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: The Steelers announced earlier in the week that they had agreed with defensive lineman Renell Wren on a Reserve/Future contract, which means that he will continue to be a part of the organization after finishing the season on the practice squad and seeing some elevation time.
