Shortly after the Pittsburgh Steelers signed interior offensive lineman James Daniels early in free agency, the move was lauded as a good one for the black and gold, who inked a 24-year-old with 48 career starts to a long-term deal, helping shore up a disastrous offensive line from just one season ago.
Once the contract details rolled in though on the Daniels signing, it became that much more clear how great a deal it was for the Steelers as Daniels signed a three-year, $26.5 million deal, giving the Steelers a legitimate building block along the interior of the offensive line, whether he moves back to center or lands at either guard spot moving forward.
