L.J. Fort might not be the top free agent on the Pittsburgh Steelers list. But he’s one the team would like to bring back. Kevin Colbert confirmed the organization would like to re-sign the linebacker, according to KDKA’s Richie Walsh.
“We would like to keep him in the mix,” Colbert said, according to Walsh.
Fort finally logged substantial playing time in 2018 though even then, the team was hesitant to insert him into the lineup until they had to. Over 305 defensive snaps last year, Fort recorded 48 tackles, three of them for a loss, with one sack.
