Jets Exercise Option To Retain Steve McLendon As Steelers Search For DL Depth

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to look for help along the defensive line this season, or at least depth, given that it is not anticipated they will make an effort to re-sign Daniel McCullers, who has spent the past four seasons on the 53-man roster after being made a sixth-round draft choice in 2014.

He has spent much of his career serving as a healthy scratch on game days, and in 2016 lost out to rookie Javon Hargrave for the starting nose tackle position, a job that opened up after their previous nose tackle, Steve McLendon, signed with the New York Jets in free agency.
