The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the start of the 2019 offseason with more than just a few holes. These holes varied in size ranging anywhere from big enough to drive a bus through to small, minor holes. Inside linebacker and cornerback would seem to fall into the first category, while wide receiver fell somewhere in the middle. Tight end may not have seemed like an obvious position of need but it has certainly become one with the departure of long-time backup tight end Jesse James in free agency.
James’ departure is not the end of the world, the Steelers still have a more than serviceable option at tight end in Vance McDonald.
