The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been a team that appreciates the value of a good tight end, which is why they tried so hard to find a new number one in the years after Heath Miller retired. With the former first-round pick in tow, it wasn’t something that they had to worry about for a decade, but when he announced his retirement, they had no next man up.
The front office was hoping that Ladarius Green would be that next guy. More of a receiving threat, the former Chargers tight end unfortunately proved to be a bad signing, arguably their worst signing in free agency, due to health issues, his career seemingly ending due to concussions.
