The Pittsburgh Steelers’ depth chart up and down the roster took a number of hits this offseason, whether it was through cap-induced releases, players retiring, or others leaving in free agency—either because the team wasn’t interested or could not afford to keep them and stay within budget.
With four veterans acquired via unrestricted free agency and trade and six players selected during the 2010 NFL Draft, they were able to address some of those losses. Other holes, or ‘wants’, may have to be filled from those returning from last season.
The Steelers lost a starting lineman and one of their principle reserves this year, both along the interior.
