When the new league year begins for the NFL in a month, the Pittsburgh Steelers could potentially see a massive exodus of players. The Steelers have a significant list of players but nothing to spend on them, so short of a salary-cap miracle, many of their top free agents could sign elsewhere.
Touchdown Wire put out their list of the top 101 free agents set to hit the market and Pittsburgh landed seven on the list.
16-EDGE Bud Dupree
25-WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
30-OT Alejandro Villanueva
31-CB Mike Hilton
60-LB Avery Williamson
80-RB James Conner
86-OT Zach Banner
Every one of these guys logged at least one start in 2020 and players like Conner, Hilton, Villanueva, Smith-Schuster and Dupree are full-time players. The Steelers front office are going to have some very challenging choices to make about these players and plenty more.
If you ran the Steelers, which of these players would be your top priority and which ones would you let walk? Let us know in the comments.
