Welcome to NFL News Today, two minutes of updates that matter to NFL fans. Hit subscribe and stay connected. The NFL offseason is kicking off with free agency legal tampering said for March 9th, and the Pittsburgh Steelers have clear needs at corner back too. Opposite Joey Porter, Jr. plus a nickel spot. They're short on proven depth there, making this a prime time to target upgrades through their own free agents or the open market. The Steelers could bring back James Pierre and Asante Samuel, Jr. first. Pierre had a breakout year at age 29, with top coverage stats and interception off the March accent and solid special team's work. Samuel saw a limited action, but showed flashes and coverage despite some scores allowed. Meanwhile, Top external pairs stand out from recent contenders. From the champion Seahawks, big and fast Rick Wolland pairs with breakout slock-eye Josh Job, who locked down receivers late in their run. The chiefs offer press-corner Jalen Watson, who matched Porter's no touchdown season, alongside

Joshua Williams with ideal size. Other intriguing names include Eric Stokes, who revived under Steelers' coordinator Patrick Graham in Las Vegas, posting career best coverage numbers. Alentay Taylor brings pass rush upside from the Saints, while Sleeper Montereg Brown excels in zone at a bargain price. Red values range from $7 million to $19 million per year, with vets like Martian Latimore available cheap due to age and injuries. Pittsburgh faces tough choices as teams reset rosters ahead of the draft. This story is shared with support from our sponsor. Your pillow just got smarter. It plays your podcast and music.
