The Pittsburgh Steelers made a business decision last offseason, allowing OLB Bud Dupree to walk via free agency. Dupree spent six seasons in Pittsburgh after being selected in the first round by the Steelers in 2015, experiencing up-and-down play to begin his NFL career due to numerous injuries as well as needed development from the college to the professional game. However, after Pittsburgh picked up Dupree’s fifth year option in 2019, his production on the field spiked to the tune of 16 TFLs, 11.5 sacks, and four forced fumbles. Dupree’s breakout season prompted Pittsburgh to use the franchise tag on Dupree for the 2020 season, bringing him back for one more year.
