The Steelers aren’t known for making big splashes in free agency, and the 2019 offseason was no exception. Though they were able to strike gold on Steven Nelson this past offseason, Pittsburgh also made a couple of bad investments.
Mark Barron turned out to be a liability in coverage, and the 30-year old linebacker is due $8.1 million this season. Because of this, he is a likely candidate to be cut after just one season. Even worse was the deal for wide receiver, Donte Moncrief. The veteran wideout was cut after just 8 weeks on the Steelers roster and turned out to be one of the worst free-agent signings in Pittsburgh’s storied history.
