The Pittsburgh Steelers overhauled their inside linebacker room in 2023. They signed Elandon Roberts, Kwon Alexander, and Cole Holcomb during the offseason. Unfortunately, both Alexander and Holcomb suffered season-ending injuries in back-to-back. So to kick-start the 2024 offseason, the Steelers signed Patrick Queen and then selected Payton Wilson in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
While Alexander only signed a one-year deal and is a free agent, Holcomb is still rehabbing from his injury while under contract. Updates on his status have been vague, but it’s easy to connect the dots with the Queen signing and the Wilson selection that the Steelers are making sure they’re covered at linebacker.
