The Pittsburgh Steelers still have a lot of roster decisions for the 2021 NFL season. Between losing free agents, signing free agents, extending players, and various other moves, the Steelers will continue to be busy over the next several weeks.
Another deadline looming within the next two months has to do with the 2022 NFL season. Teams have until May 3 to exercise the fifth-year option on any player drafted in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft. The Steelers have two players where this applies as they drafted safety Terrell Edmunds and traded for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and inherited his rookie contract.
