The Pittsburgh Steelers enter 2022 with a fair bit of uncertainty. Traditionally, Pittsburgh has been a yearly playoff contender—the team has never had a losing season in 15 years under head coach Mike Tomlin—but it experienced a lot of change this offseason.
Ben Roethlisberger retired, longtime general manager Kevin Colbert stepped down, and Teryl Austin replaced Keith Butler as defensive coordinator.
In short, a Steelers franchise that typically reloads may finally be rebuilding in 2022. Adding new players before the start of the regular season, and perhaps trading a few of their own, may be part of that rebuilding process.
