The Pittsburgh Steelers should have a fairly easy decision in front of them when it comes to the franchise tag.
None of their impending 19 free agents appear to be worthy of the franchise tag, which would come with a significant pay increase for most of those players.
Pittsburgh could potentially deliver an offseason surprise, but if that happens, the franchise needs to have a good justification for why the franchise tag is used.
The AFC North side also does not have any key restricted free agents, so that portion of the offseason will not involve the team much.
