The Pittsburgh Steelers enter this new league year poised to be in the best shape that they have been in with regards to salary cap health that they have been in for some time. But they are also a team with many needs of varying importance, depending on how they handle their own free agents over the course of the next week.
In that regard, the area of gravest concern is the secondary, particularly at cornerback, where they have three of their top four players scheduled to be unrestricted free agents. That list is led by long-time veteran Joe Haden and the more recent Ahkello Witherspoon, but the presence of Arthur Maulet on that list is not to be glossed over, either.
