2022 Season Breakdown:
The Pittsburgh Steelers sensed a lack of quality depth at the outside linebacker position entering the 2022 season. They addressed the concern by acquiring Malik Reed from the Denver Broncos in exchange for a swap of late-round draft picks. It failed to address their depth concerns, as it turned out.
Reed was successful over the previous two seasons filling in due to injury, posting eight sacks in 202 and five in 2021.
