Gay has the longest current streak of games played in the NFL among defensive players. He has 544 career tackles, seven sacks, 13 interceptions, 87 pass defenses, 10 forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.

Steelers are reportedly suppose to resign Mike Mitchell. This was more to create cap room. Im not a Mike Mitchell fan. But curious what the Steelers management and front office has in store for the 2018 defense?
It doesn't sound like they are pursuing any veteran free agents, as other teams are signing over the past few days. So whats the game plan? Our defense is not going to get any better this year? Are they going to trade Bryant to move up in the draft? |

I'd prefer an incentive laden deal to guaranteed money though, and I don't think he'd go for it. |

But curious what the Steelers management and front office has in store for the 2018 defense? The Steelers always wait until the bargain bin is ready to be picked over. they made a move for a corner last year but for the most part they never participate in the free agent frenzy. They are always up against the cap because they sign their own free agents first. Been succesful with if so they aren't going to change. This year however you're looking at a huge hole because of Shazier. Not sure how they are going to fill that hole but you can bet it won't be by overpaying for the talent that's out there. What teams are giving away for some of these free agents is obscene. At this point there isn't anyone really left that I'd be excited about. I guess we need "depth". Hate that word. Means you're going to sign some guys that will never start but you can throw them in there in a pinch? I dunno. At this point why even bother? I don't the success rate for teams that invest a lot of money into free agents against the Steelers that don't. But I guess if you by regular season records the Steelers have done pretty well. I don't even pay attention to free agent season as it means next to nothing to the Steelers. |

If they bring back Mitchell I will be disgusted. He's garbage on and off the field.

Steelers are signing Morgan Burnett. The #1 ranked safety on the FA market.

PFF charged him with five of the nine touchdowns against the team’s safeties. Of the free-agent safeties, Burnett ranked No. 1 in tackling efficiency (only two misses) but third-to-last in receptions allowed per coverage snap. Dunno Crash. tons of injuries. Gives up splash plays. already 29. But he's probably cheap. depth I guess

He's started every game he's ever played.
My guess is they plan to have him start. |
