Will the Steelers lose Elandon Roberts after reworking Cole Holcomb’s contract?
The Steelers signed both Cole Holcomb and Elandon Roberts as free agents in 2023. They also signed Kwon Alexander later on, and the three shared playing time until injuries dictated otherwise. A year later, only Roberts remained, but the Steelers replaced the others.
Specifically, they went out and signed Patrick Queen as a free agent, then drafted Payton Wilson in the third round. Queen is an obvious every-down starter, and Wilson already played nearly 500 snaps last year. Given that, the Steelers won’t have a lot of snaps to pass around to Cole Holcomb—let alone Elandon Roberts.
