With the annual NFL Scouting Combine a week away, we’re into full blown offseason mode in the NFL world, with free agency beginning shortly thereafter. The legal tampering period where agents can begin negotiating starts on March 14, with free agency and the new league year beginning March 16 at 4:00 PM EST.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have several unrestricted free agents this offseason, some of which were major contributors the past few seasons. On defense, starting cornerback Joe Haden, safety Terrell Edmunds, midseason acquisition Montravius Adams at nose tackle and promising youngster Ahkello Witherspoon at corner, who despite only starting a few games, actually led the team with 3 interceptions.
