With the Pittsburgh Steelers in search of depth at the outside linebacker position, they recently made contact with one of their own. Bud Dupree, their first-round draft pick in 2015, was in for visit last Thursday—now a week ago — and he left without signing a contract.
Given the situation, it’s hard to deduce precisely that means, both in the short and long term. All we know is that there is no deal now and hasn’t been in the week that followed their meeting. Yet a former teammate believes there is reason for Dupree to be the cautious party here.
