Free Agency started on Monday March 10th at noon.
The Pittsburgh Steelers entered free agency with as much as much to lose as they do have to gain.
The Steelers have 17 players set to become free agents. Omar Khan has over 60 million dollars in salary cap money to spend, with the ability to increase that quickly and easily with restructures and extensions. Yet, the team has been cautious.
- If anyone is panicking over the Steelers lack of a quarterback, they’re not on the South Side.
Beyond that, the Steelers have seen far more free agents depart for greener patures than they have extended the welcome mat to.
Is Omar Khan stockpiling compensatory picks? That may not be his intent, but thus far that’s the end-product of his approach to free agency as the legal tampering period comes to an end.
