Why older veterans don’t fit the Steelers’ long-term needs

Earlier this week, one of the first legitimate noteworthy free agency moves of the 2023 NFL offseason had been enacted. Shockingly, it wasn’t the Steelers extending long-snapper Christian Kuntz.

On Wednesday, the Titans released three-time Pro Bowl tackle Taylor Lewan. While Lewan ended up being a headliner of sorts, Tennessee also let go of receiver Robert Woods, linebacker Zach Cunningham and kicker Randy Bullock in order to create cap space.

Certain players have had their contracts restructured or altered in order to generate more immediate cap space, and others have signed extensions. Until this point, though, few notable players had been informed that they could hit the open market.
