Turnover is an unstoppable inevitability in the NFL. With the salary cap as it is, players starting and finishing their careers with the same team is practically unheard of. But maintaining as much consistency in a roster is key to consistent success.
ESPN went through and broke down each team for continuity based on the percentage of snaps returning for 2020. According to ESPN, the Steelers will return 82.4 percent of last season’s snaps, which puts them fifth in the NFL and one of only five teams to return more than 80 percent from last season.
The big losses for the Steelers in terms of snaps are guard Ramon Foster, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and linebacker Mark Barron. The three of them combined for 2,252 snaps last season.
In addition, the article talked about turnover at key coaching positions. The Steelers return the heart of their staff with head coach Mike Tomlin coming back as well as all three major coordinators.
