Year after year, Pittsburgh Steelers fans clamor for the team to make some noise in free agency. They rarely do, of course, typically, in no small part because they are almost routinely tight up against the cap. But they don’t have a very good track record with the free agents that they do sign, especially in recent years.
Going back to 2016, the Steelers have signed 13 players as unrestricted free agents—note that this does not include players who were street free agents, which includes Joe Haden and Mark Barron. Of those 13, seven of them signed multi-year deals.
