Like many of you, I entered the free agency period with modest expectations. I anticipated we’d sign a journeyman receiver to compete for reps following the Antonio Brown trade. And I figured we’d bring in a veteran competitor at corner to push the flailing Artie Burns. But with limited cap dollars to spend and teams like the Jets and Bills making lucrative contracts rain like it was Saturday night at the club, I didn’t expect much of a splash. The Steeler Way and all.
Consider me pleasantly surprised, then, with what we’ve managed to accomplish.
