It seems like every year we talk about the hopes of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ latest free agent signings being more successful than the previous players that they have brought in. Pittsburgh spent big—relatively speaking—this year in free agency, so that is especially important now, all the more so in light of the fact that the players that they signed last year are already gone.
The Steelers made three additions in free agency last season. One did not have his one-year contract renewed. The other two were released. And they were, or at least were supposed to be, starters.
