Cassius Marsh cannot be the first EDGE off the bench for Steelers

Cassius Marsh is currently set to be a primary backup edge defender in 2021, but here’s why the Pittsburgh Steelers must do better.

To the surprise of many, the Pittsburgh Steelers were actually in the hunt to acquire pass rusher Ryan Kerrigan this offseason. After losing both Bud Dupree and Ola Adeniyi to the Titans this offseason, Kerrigan would have been a most welcomed addition. However, the former Pro Bowler elected to sign with the Philidelphia Eagles.

Despite their attempt to add talent to the position, the Steelers now almost seem complacent with the guys they have on the roster.
