Pittsburgh will also have two new starters, as Isaac Seumalo signed with the Arizona Cardinals in free agency and it looks unlikely that Broderick Jones will be playing, at least not in Week 1. This leaves Spencer Anderson and Gennings Dunker to battle for the right guard spot with Max Iheanachor and Dylan Cook in their own summer competition for the starting right tackle position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">While the Steelers will find out soon enough who their respective starters should be, <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25454350-1-trade-each-nfl-team-should-consider-2026-season-starts\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Moe Moton of Bleacher Report<\/a> suggests that Pittsburgh trade for a more proven right tackle in Walker Little from the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cThe Steelers have options at left tackle while Broderick Jones recovers from a neck injury,\u201d Moton writes. \u201cThey can slide right tackle Troy Fautanu to the left side, as the team did during the spring, or attempt to fast-track rookie first-rounder Max Iheanachor\u2019s ascension into a starting role. General manager Omar Khan should consider a third option: trading for Little, who lost the Jaguars\u2019 starting left tackle position to Cole Van Lanen last season. Little has 39 career starts in five campaigns. He could man the Steelers\u2019 vacant offensive tackle spot until Iheanachor is ready to take the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Little would bring the stability of a veteran presence, as well as versatility. He\u2019s played all over the line with the Jaguars, taking meaningful snaps at both tackle positions and at right guard. Similar to Fautanu, he can be put just about anywhere and be productive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Steelers will report for training camp in less than two weeks on July 28, with their first practice taking place two weeks from today on July 29.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.behindthesteelcurtain.com\/post\/FQ5g5Rfd-5Q1\" class=\"kbjb0s3\" aria-label=\"View full post: Baker Mayfield\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"_1mg4q2a1 _1mg4q2a0\">Baker Mayfield<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Steelers ought to at least keep an eye on Baker Mayfied.  His contract expires this season and it looks like Tampa doesn&#8217;t want to pay what he wants.
