The Pittsburgh Steelers have made eight moves for outside free agents since the new league year began, bolstering key positions like cornerback, safety, and wide receiver. While they’ve addressed some roster needs, the question remains whether they will sign more free agents before the NFL Draft. Current depth, particularly at quarterback, may suggest they’ll hold off on further signings until after the draft, especially with high-profile players like Aaron Rodgers still in play. The Steelers are poised to wait and see how the draft unfolds before making additional moves.

By the Numbers
  • The Steelers have signed or traded for eight outside free agents so far this offseason.
  • They have exited the playoffs in the first round for seven consecutive years.
Yes, But

While the Steelers may appear to be finished with significant signings, their quarterback situation remains uncertain, with the looming possibility of Aaron Rodgers impacting future moves. There’s also the ongoing need for depth that might prompt additional signings as the offseason progresses.

State of Play
  • The Steelers added key players, including a running back and offensive lineman, who can compete for starting roles.
  • Draft strategy may influence their willingness to pursue any further free agents.
What's Next

As the draft approaches, the Steelers will likely reassess their needs, potentially targeting a starting guard or additional depth in the secondary. Whether they finalize a deal with Aaron Rodgers could also determine their strategy moving forward.

Bottom Line

The Steelers appear to be done with major free agent signings, focusing instead on the upcoming draft to fill any remaining gaps, particularly at quarterback and secondary depth. The real decisions will unfold as they navigate the draft and assess their current roster.
