Player: ILB Malik Harrison
Stock Value: Purchased
Reasoning: Rather than re-sign Elandon Roberts, the Steelers elected to bring in Malik Harrison. This is the move outside of the quarterback position that has faced the most scrutiny, at least from fans. While they have Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson, the Steelers prefer a three-linebacker system. Whether Harrison can adequately fill that third role, they seem to believe he can.
Did the Steelers upgrade their interior defense by signing Malik Harrison at the expense of bringing back Elandon Roberts? That’s a topic fans have debated, but they certainly found a younger player.
