Summary
The Steelers made bold moves this offseason, adding Michael Pittman Jr., Jamel Dean, and Rico Dowdle, while drafting Max Iheanachor and Germie Bernard—clearly building a stronger roster. But linebacker remains a glaring weakness, especially after passing on opportunities to trade Patrick Queen, whose injury history, tackling woes, and coverage struggles make his $17M cap hit feel like a risky gamble. With top-tier linebackers like Devin Lloyd and Tremaine Edmunds signing cheaper deals, the Steelers might’ve missed a chance to upgrade—and now they’re left wondering if they can fix it with a new defensive coordinator.
