The Pittsburgh Steelers still have a long road ahead on the path of contention. Coming up just shy of reaching the postseason is not exactly the ambition the organization has set for itself. While much improvement is needed on offense, there are key concerns on defense as well.
Irrespective of questions about pending free agents, one of the key areas of concern is at the linebacker position. Many would argue that it is still in need of an upgrade if they manage to return every player at the position from last season’s roster.
That would not be news to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, who indicated that he anticipates this will be a potential target in April.
