Player: CB Darius Slay
Stock Value: Purchased
Reasoning: The Steelers have added another veteran cornerback, this time Darius Slay. With a pedigree similar to Patrick Peterson two years ago, they hope he has a bit more left in the tank. Slay enters the 2025 season already 34 years old, and he intercepted zero passes in the 2024 regular season. That doesn’t tell the full story, but nevertheless, they must have their fingers crossed.
Many years ago, before Dan Rooney put a stop to it, Pittsburgh was a team that traded away its draft picks for players whose best years were already behind them.
