Mark Barron Indicates He Expects To Be On Field In Dime Defense

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t know what kind of odds they would have of being able to be in a position to draft Devin Bush when they agreed to a two-year contract with inside linebacker Mark Barron during the height of the free agency period back in March.

They couldn’t afford to roll the dice again after an underwhelming season at the position, led primarily by 2018 free agent signing Jon Bostic, who would be released immediately following the draft that brought Bush into the fold.

So while they still have Vince Williams as well, meaning that’s it’s not clear at all if their $6 million-a-year free agent will even be in the starting lineup, they’re certainly not about to complain about the abundance.
