Steelers Standard (Pittsburgh Steelers)

Joey Porter Jr is coming off something of a sophomore slump and Darius Slay is getting up there with age. Both starters need to prove they can handle going up against elite passing offenses this year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unfortunately, Donald Parham is going to miss all this upcoming season, so should that make it a no-brainer to sign Jonnu Smith. Minkah Fitzpatrick has had two back-to-back seasons of lackluster play, and it is of the highest importance he returns to first team all pro quality.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mason Rudolph rescued the team at the end of 2023, and despite being a sixth-round pick Will Howard seems to have a lot of fans already.

Reports of TE Jonnu Smith and WR Gabe Davis coming to Pittsburgh are noticeable but how much help would those two provide given the hole of a true WR2 still missing on the roster.
