After losing Robert Spillane in free agency to the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday, leaving Pittsburgh’s ILB room looking pretty bare. Devin Bush and Marcus Allen remain on the open market and with Myles Jack, Mark Robinson, and Tae Crowder the only notable names currently on the roster, the Steelers desperately needed to add another competent player to the room.
They did just that this Wednesday morning after agreeing to terms with veteran free agent linebacker Cole Holcomb on a three-year deal according to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero. The financial teams of the deal have not yet been disclosed but considering Holcomb’s experience with the Washington Commanders and the length of the deal, it’s safe to assume that Pittsburgh signed Holcomb with the intention of starting him alongside Myles Jack at off-ball linebacker.
