Now that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2022 season is over, the team finishing above .500 but failing to make the postseason, we turn our attention 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: S Scott Nelson
Stock Value: Sold
Reasoning: The Steelers announced the waiver of safety Scott Nelson yesterday, a first-year player who spent parts of last season on the team’s practice squad and who was on the offseason roster throughout 2023 prior to his release.
