With the 2017 NFL legal tampering period now underway, the Pittsburgh Steelers have several players who are set to become unrestricted free agents on Thursday. One of those players is tight end David Johnson and apparently the Steelers have interest in re-signing him.
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, the Steelers are hoping to re-sign Johnson, who caught 7 passes for 80 yards last season in the 259 total offensive snaps that he played. While Johnson also played 84 total special teams snaps during the 2016 regular season, he failed to register a single tackle.
