If the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers feel like a vastly different bunch than the 2023 edition, it’s because it is. As calculated by Over The Cap’s Jason Fitzgerald, the Steelers have only 62.5 percent of last year’s roster returning. It’s the fifth-highest turnover rate of any team in football. Or presented another way, 28th in roster retention.
As compiled by Fitzgerald, only the Washington Commanders, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins, and Houston Texans have had more turnover.
The Commanders and Chargers have new regimes, head coaches and general managers, which typically go hand-in-hand with roster changes.
