Given the completely desolate landscape that is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason thus far—they have not made a single transaction since early January, and it wouldn’t shock me if they were the only team in the league about which that is true—it’s a bit hard to know what’s going on with the team, and what is about to happen.
But there will be an absolute flurry of activity next week, which is the first point at which they will know whether or not a new Collective Bargaining Agreement will be in place. They have the better part of a dozen unrestricted, restricted, and exclusive rights free agents that they would like to try to retain, and they have a number of veteran whose futures they also have to weigh.
