The Pittsburgh Steelers made a significant move yesterday to shore up one of their weakest positions on the roster, in terms of depth, when they reportedly agreed to a one-year contract with free agent edge defender Melvin Ingram worth $4 million.
While he is not being brought in as a needed starter, the departures of Bud Dupree and Ola Adeniyi this offseason left the team with little in the way of depth at the all-important defensive position, being T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, the latter heading into his first season as a starter.
With that key depth secured, though, it will only put the spotlight more heavily on the lack of depth at safety.
