Cole had a solid 2022 season, his first with the team, but took a big step back in 2023, with issues snapping the ball and blocking. Center was looked to be a position the Steelers would look to upgrade this offseason, but there was still a chance that the team kept Cole either as a backup or as an option while they explored the center market.
