The Pittsburgh Steelers were one of several NFL teams who were in a tough spot heading into the 2021 season. With the salary cap dropping for the first time in its existence, signing, and retaining, free agents was going to be a challenge.
One of the areas which has been hit hard this offseason has been the offensive line. Alejandro Villanueva remains on the open market, Matt Feiler departed for Los Angeles and Maurkice Pouncey’s retirement has the center position in dire straits.
But that doesn’t mean the Steelers weren’t able to address the line at all, and they did so by signing Zach Banner to a new two-year contract.
