Heading into free agency, the Pittsburgh Steelers were staring down a potential gaping hole in the secondary with the likes of Joe Haden, Ahkello Witherspoon, Arthur Maulet and Terrell Edmunds hitting the open market.
Knowing they had some work to do, the Steelers and General Manager Kevin Colbert acted quickly, grabbing veteran free agent Levi Wallace early in the process on a two-year, $8 million deal, and then just one day later re-signed Witherspoon to an identical two-year, $8 million deal, shoring up the cornerback position rather quickly on the outside, while also re-signing Arthur Maulet to a relatively cheap two-year deal.
