Minicamp is over for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who seemingly took advantage of the offseason workouts to up the intensity and lay a foundation for expectations this season.
But with minicamp now in the rearview mirror, we enter into a six-week dead period for the Steelers, who will report to training camp on July 24 and have their first practice at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe on July 25. In the next six weeks, it will be rather quiet, outside of potential extensions for tight end Pat Freiermuth and defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, or maybe even a surprise trade or signing of a receiver.
