The Steelers secondary looked much better in 2016 than it did in the previous two seasons, but it is far from a finished product. The weakest link in Pittsburgh’s secondary might just be cornerback William Gay, who struggled mightily in man coverage throughout the 2016 season. Gay’s contract isn’t a big issue (though the Steelers would save around $2 million by releasing him), but he turns 33 next season, meaning that the Steelers would benefit from adding a young player who is better suited to manning the slot. Senquez Golson, Pittsburgh’s second-round pick from the 2015 draft, is an obvious candidate to earn a starting role, but has missed each of the past two seasons with injuries.
