The Pittsburgh Steelers have, to date, signed six players from outside of the organization to free agent contracts this offseason. The three largest deals average between $6-8 million per season, with inside linebacker Cole Holcomb on the lower end, guard Isaac Seumalo the higher, and cornerback Patrick Peterson right in the middle.
The other deals have all come in at $4 million per season or less, and in the cases of most additions, they will be expected to be starters—specifically the three aforementioned, along with possibly Nate Herbig and Elandon Roberts. It’s a fairly common pattern for the team, which former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is very familiar with.
