Beat Writer Believes Steelers’ CB Room Will Be ‘Worse’ In 2025

The Pittsburgh Steelers made several improvements to their roster this offseason. While they’re still waiting on QB Aaron Rodgers, they shored up other positions like defensive line, wide receiver, and running back. However, their roster is far from perfect. And Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette believes the Steelers’ cornerbacks room will be worse this year compared to last season.

“They didn’t want to bring back Donte Jackson,” Fittipaldo said Friday on 93.7 The Fan. “But Donte Jackson led them in interceptions with five. You’re replacing him with a 34-year-old veteran [Darius Slay].

“I know there’s some pedigree there, but just the way they go year-to-year with this position, they keep punting on it every single year, never really turns out for them.
