Steelers' Complete Team Benefits from Critical Offensive Approach and New Veteran Additions.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have built a complete team with depth at every position, including wide receiver, tight end, running back, quarterback, and on both lines. Despite this, they were not listed among the NFL's most complete teams. The team's success is due in part to having quarterback Kenny Pickett on a rookie contract, allowing for veteran players at backup spots. The Steelers were also awarded the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland as part of the NFL's "Global Market Program," opening the door for the team to play a game in Ireland at some point.

Markus Golden joins Steelers as veteran pass-rusher.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed veteran linebacker Markus Golden to a one-year contract to add depth to their outside linebacker position. Golden, who has played for the Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants, recorded 11 sacks in 2021 with the Cardinals. He will serve as the immediate third linebacker behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith and provide a veteran option for the team. The signing lessens the need for rookie Nick Herbig to play a more prominent role and opens the door for him to see time at inside linebacker.

Steelers add physicality to OLB room with Markus Golden signing.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed former Arizona Cardinals EDGE Markus Golden to add depth behind OLBs T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. Golden is a stout run defender who has shown the ability to get to the QB thanks to his effort in pursuit as well as his ability to out leverage his competition. He lacks ideal size and length as a pass rusher, but should be able to provide competent production as a rotational player and mentor young guys like Nick Herbig.
