The Pittsburgh Steelers have worked all offseason to try to improve their roster wherever they could manage it, turning over every stone to look for help. The inside linebacker position in particular has been turned on its head, with only one player from last season’s 53-man roster remaining and five substantial veterans added this offseason via free agency.
That included a Sunday addition of their most experienced veteran now at the position, signing Kwon Alexander, who has over 5,000 defensive snaps under his belt. The Steelers had been in contact with him since May at least, but a couple days into training camp spurred the completion of a deal.
