Do Steelers Have (Or Need) A Credible 4th OLB After Markus Golden’s Retirement?

Do the Steelers have (or need) a credible fourth outside linebacker with Markus Golden’s retirement?

The Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed Markus Golden just a short time ago—and then he promptly retired. The veteran pass rusher warned in his first comments to media that he felt retired during his unemployment. Now he is retired for real, but where does that leave the Steelers?

Pittsburgh signed Golden after David Perales suffered an injury, phoning the veteran during training camp. They still have Jeremiah Moon, Kyron Johnson, Jacoby Windmon, and Julius Welschof, the most notable names vying for the Steelers’ fourth outside linebacker spot.
