Player: WR Cory Trice Jr.
Stock Value: Down
Reasoning: While no surprise, the Steelers are not leaning on Cory Trice Jr. for any significant role in 2025. With the signing of Darius Slay, the third-year cornerback figures at best to retain the spot he finished with. That would be as the top backup on the outside, with possibly some dime snaps. And while that’s perfectly fine, it is not progress but rather status quo.
If there was any question about how the Steelers viewed Cory Trice Jr. entering this offseason, they answered it by signing Darius Slay.
