The Pittsburgh Steelers have more than a dozen and a half players who are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in about two weeks’ time. They won’t have a shot at re-signing perhaps every one of their big-name free agents. They may be lucky to be able to re-sign only a very small handful of the remaining.
When it comes to that sort of lower end, middle class level of free agent, much of the focus for the Steelers has been paid to the cornerbacks, as their number three and number four players at the position have both completed their fourth years, with their contracts running out.
