The Steelers signed RB Kenneth Gainwell as a free agent, shortly after losing Najee Harris to the Chargers. Not much more than a Veteran Salary Benefit deal, he is clearly a budget-friendly addition, but not the final piece. Barring another significant signing, his addition signals that their focus is on the draft.
Still, there is real potential for Gainwell to have an outsized impact for the Steelers relative to his salary. He hasn’t exactly broken through at the NFL level, but he is a capable player who should fit in. And that’s all he is focused on, eager to meet OC Arthur Smith and get started.
