Now that veteran linebacker Lawrence Timmons has decided to sign a free agent contract with the Miami Dolphins, it’s not hard to imagine that Vince Williams will be asked to fill his shoes in the middle of the Pittsburgh Steelers defense moving forward. While that might ultimately be the case, the Steelers could still decide to go the free agent route in hopes of finding a little more athleticism at the position.
While it might sound like a reach to suggest the Steelers will sign any free agents moving forward being as they’ve yet to do so as the first weekend of the new league year comes to a close, there are still a few unsigned free agent middle linebackers who might become huge bargains in the coming days.
