To date, the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed three players as unrestricted free agents from outside of their organization. In one sense or another, it is possible that all of them emerge as starters. Derek Watt will be the team’s fullback, of course, in whatever sense that the fullback is still a starter, but Stefen Wisniewski has the chance to play the most snaps if he wins the starting left guard job.
That is one big draw that sold him on the Steelers, but it’s also because he grew up a fan. “I’ve been a starter most of my career, so I wanted to go somewhere where I had a good shot to compete to be a starter, and obviously I knew when Ramon Foster retired that that would be an open job”, he told The Fan.
