The moves came fast and furious throughout the afternoon on Monday, March 15 as the legal tampering period kicked off for the 2021 NFL season. While some teams were big players, others were not. In typical Steelers fashion, the only move made by Pittsburgh was retaining one of their own players.
Unfortunately, the Steelers lost two starters from the 2020 season on Day 1 of the free agency signing period. Bud Dupree signed a five-year contract with the Tennessee Titans at $16.5 million per year while Matt Feiler agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Chargers for three years at $7 million per season.
