I think we can all assume that 26 and 84 will not be part of the 2019 Pittsburgh Steelers. Bell will either be transitioned tagged and traded or go to the team that is willing to pay him the most. Brown, after his latest farewell post and consistent desire to play elsewhere, will be traded.
Where does that leave the Steelers next year? How good or bad will they be? Can they make the playoffs with a less talented offense? Can Ben stay healthy?
Obviously with free agency, the draft, trades and other roster moves, this team, along with every other team outside of New England, will look different at the start of the season, but that doesn’t mean we cannot start looking ahead.
