Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Kevin Colbert fielded an awful lot of questions from reporters yesterday. Colbert also took some questions from fans via a conversation with Steelers Nation Unite. One question that they were not asked, however, and which was not addressed, was whether or not they intend to pick up the fifth-year option for fourth-year safety Terrell Edmunds.
A first-round pick by the team in 2018, Edmunds has been a three-year starter now at strong safety, and has improved with each passing season. Teams are now eligible to begin picking up the fifth-year options of their 2018 first-round picks, but it’s not clear where they’re leaning with Edmunds.
