Darius Slay is still holding off Father Time. But at 34 years old and signed to a one-year deal, odds are good the Pittsburgh Steelers will be looking for cornerback help this time next offseason. Appearing on the #1 Cochran Sports Show Sunday night, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette beat writer Brian Batko wishes the team would’ve looked beyond 2024 instead.

“I think from the Steelers perspective, they’re thinking maybe this guy’s the final piece, and we can finally become that top three or even number one-ranked defense that we so badly wanna be,” Batko told show host Bob Pompeani.
