By now we all know that it’s more likely than not the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without left tackle Alejandro Villanueva, who is an unrestricted free agent this year for the first time in his career and is likely to command a very healthy salary, age having become far less prohibitive on the market for linemen in recent years.
The question then becomes—assuming that he wants to continue playing—where he’s going and how much he makes. It’s not hard to find teams who need a left tackle, truth be told, which is why they always make bank on the open market.
