In just a few days, the legal tampering period will open in the NFL ahead of the start of the new league year on March 15, which coincides with the start of free agency.
For the Pittsburgh Steelers, more than 20 players are set to hit unrestricted and restricted free agency, which will open up quite a few holes on the roster ahead of the 2023 season. While the Steelers still need to make some roster subtractions and restructure some big-money contracts to free up some cap space, the expectation is the Steelers won’t be that aggressive in free agency on the open market.
