The Pittsburgh Steelers need help along the defensive line, and they need it badly. The fact that they released Larry Ogunjobi suggests they had high confidence they could find his replacement. Unfortunately, it appears they have underestimated the market, which has ballooned considerably this offseason. Even when teams cut a high-priced defensive lineman, another team quickly scoops him up, like former Steelers DL Javon Hargrave.
Some hoped that the Steelers would sign Hargrave as their defensive line upgrade, but not at the market price. Despite his age and coming off a major injury, he still fetched $15 million a year over two years.
