It’s almost been one full week since Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt decided to retire and since then there has been rampant speculation as to if the team will sign an experienced free agent to help fill his void. On Tuesday, the first day of the Steelers 2022 mandatory minicamp, head coach Mike Tomlin was asked to comment on Tuitt’s retirement and the state of the defensive line moving forward without the team’s former second round draft pick
“I’m excited about the guys we have here to work with in that regard,” Tomlin said after Tuesday practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.
