After a busy free agency \u2014 and after making 10 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft \u2014 the Steelers\u2019 roster certainly appears to be in better shape than it was at the end of the 2025 season. But Pittsburgh has been no stranger to making late free agent signings well after the draft in years past. Where could the Steelers look to add this offseason?<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the Steelers biggest remaining roster need?<\/p>\n
Sure, quarterback still sticks out like a sore thumb, but until proven otherwise I\u2019m assuming Aaron Rodgers<\/a> will be back in 2026. And even if not, after drafting Drew Allar<\/a> in the third round this year, Pittsburgh has reason to see whether the Penn State product sinks or swims in the NFL.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Elsewhere, I wouldn\u2019t mind seeing a competent veteran signed at inside linebacker, wide receiver, or tight end. None of those position groups look devoid of talent by any means, but the inside linebacker room remains unchanged following a disappointing 2025. Meanwhile, the wide receiver and tight end rooms still lack ideal depth behind the top names, and at receiver Pittsburgh could use another tall speed threat besides Metcalf.<\/p>\n However, each of those position groups are largely locked into place entering the summer. Sometimes you just want some extra names to prepare for the inevitable injuries (and disappointments) of camp.<\/p>\n The position where the Steelers could still likely add a player who could be a significant part of the team would be at safety. There, the team has a starting-caliber duo in DeShon Elliott and Jaquan Brisker<\/a>, but with Darnell Savage<\/a> still unsigned, the depth is worryingly thin. Sebastian Castro<\/a> was a fun UDFA name last year who hasn\u2019t proven much beyond that, while rookie Robert Spears-Jennings is an intriguing athlete still a ways from being an NFL starter.<\/p>\n Beyond that, Elliott is coming off a season-ending injury, and both he and Brisker are best as box safeties. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey<\/a> is another name to throw in the safety mix, but he too is at his best closest to the line of scrimmage, not as a center fielder.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n
