Before we begin, I’m going to make a few assumptions about free agency. This team has a few gaps in the lineup that are just not acceptable, and Kevin Colbert hates to go into the draft with that kind of obligation. He typically uses the team’s free agency opportunities to plug those holes with starter-quality but not special talents. So I’m going to assume he does that this year too, in order to free up his options.
Thus I am projecting the following free agent moves:
- At Offensive Tackle: The Steelers will sign Chuks Okorafor to a 2-3 year deal at a “low level starter” price tag, and will keep Zach Banner on the roster (hopefully for a discount, but whatever).
