The Pittsburgh Steelers let 15 players hit the open market. Most, frankly, won’t be missed and were at the replacement-level status. Cam Thomas. Will Allen. Byron Stingily. There won’t be many memoirs written over them.
But the team is in danger over losing two inside linebackers and it’s testing their depth. Sean Spence is in Miami. Terence Garvin in Washington. If both leave, and that’s looking likely, the Steelers aren’t left with much behind their starters. The only backup with legitimate experience is Vince Williams, who, make no mistake, is highly capable and a player I’ve been a fan of since his rookie season.
