Steelers Plug Roster Gaps, Eye QB Solution

0:00NFL stories making news on March 10th. The Pittsburgh Steelers made several smart moves this week to plug key roster gaps. They traded six and seventh round draft picks to the Indianapolis Colts for wide receiver Michael Pittman, then locked him into a three-year. 59 million dollar deal. This gives them a solid second option alongside DK Metcalf, who faced heavy coverage last season. After running back Kenneth Gainwell left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Steelers quickly signed Rico Dattle to a two-year, 12.25 million dollar contract. Dattle brings better staying power to team up with Jalen Warren in the backfield, especially after Gainwell standout MVP year. On defense, they added Tampa Bay cornerback to Mel Dean on a three-year, 36.75 million dollar packed, pairing him perfectly with Joey Porter Jr. at outside corner. They also brought back linebacker Cole Holcomb for two years and five million dollars, plus cornerback Asante Samuel

1:00Jr. for one year and four million dollars, boosting depth across the board. The biggest hole remains at quarterback, with Aaron Rogers still undecided about next season at age 42. Even after Mike McCarthy took over as coach from Mike Tomlin, Rogers has not recommitted, despite their past super bowl success together. Fans are watching free agents like Kyler Murray, Kurt Cousins, and Gino Smith, while draft buzz points to Alabama's Thai Simpson at the 21st. Pick, for now, backups Mason Rudolph and Wilhauer topped the Dept chart, but Pittsburgh seems poised to wait on Rogers. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
