Is Steelers Next Center Already On Roster?

Is the Steelers’ next starting center already on the roster?

Specifically, the starter on opening day in 2024, not necessarily the next long-term starter. This is apparently a topic that’s gotten some traction since the Steelers released Mason Cole. What are the odds that the Steelers’ opening-day starting center is someone who is already on the team? Let’s explore the candidates:

James Daniels: Daniels primarily played center at Iowa before the Bears drafted him in 2018. He only played about half a season at center since then, and not at all since 2019 or with the Steelers.
