The move may not have made the waves in free agency the way Jacksonville’s signing of guard Brandon Scherff or Miami’s signing of Terron Armstead did, but the Pittsburgh Steelers’ signing of interior offensive lineman James Daniels was quietly a very good one.
The move to sign Daniels to a three-year, $26.5 million deal was quietly one of the better moves of free agency to date as the Steelers added an experienced, young interior offensive lineman to help jumpstart a rebuild in the trenches.
Having started 48 games in his career, Daniels can play both guard positions and center, and gives the Steelers a potential cornerstone in the trenches.
