Supply and demand. That’s how the NFL market works. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, they have an overabundance of defensive linemen. Eight names that can reasonably be argued to make the team’s 53-man roster. That’s at least one too many. So if I’m Omar Khan, I’m calling all 31 teams to see if there’s a demand.
Obviously, the Steelers have a couple roster locks. The off-limit players. Cam Heyward, Larry Ogunjobi, and rookie Keeanu Benton. DeMarvin Leal is still far from his ceiling but he’s almost certain to stick around, too. Everyone else though? You ask around.
The Steelers know the spot they’re in.
