## Resource

The Steelers are locked in roster-wise heading into camp, with GM Omar Khan’s focus squarely on trimming to 53 by August 30th — but one name to watch is Asante Samuel Jr., who returned on a $4M deal after recovering from spinal fusion surgery. Though he flashed potential late last season, his spot is now in flux with third-round pick Daylen Everette looming. If Everette excels in camp — especially in zone coverage and recovery — Samuel could be traded for cap relief, not cut, since cutting him would cost more in dead money. The cornerback’s future hinges entirely on Everette’s August performance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
