Leading up to the start of the new league year in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a significant need at the cornerback position coming out of the 2024 season.
Rather quickly on Wednesday, the Steelers addressed that need with two quick moves, landing veteran cornerback Darius Slay and cornerback Brandin Echols, strengthening the depth chart in a big way at the position of need. Echols is a good depth cornerback to have as a No. 3 or No. 4 on the outside, while Slay remains a big name with some production.
The concern with Slay is that he’s 34 years old and plays a young man’s position.
