Leading up to the official legal tampering window in the NFL — it opens March 11 ahead of the start of the new league year on March 13 — one position continues to come into focus more and more for the Pittsburgh Steelers as a clear need in free agency.
That would be the secondary, whether that’s at cornerback or safety.
Fortunately for the Steelers and GM Omar Khan, the secondary is becoming rather strong in free agency due to recent moves other teams have made as far as releasing players.
Chances are, the Steelers won’t be in the market for some of those bigger names, like safety Justin Simmons, who was cut by the Denver Broncos on Thursday.
