The new league year began officially at 4 PM a week from yesterday. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ free agent crop did not garner a ton of interest initially, but by the close of the first full week of free agency, they had lost three of their own. The latest was inside linebacker Sean Spence, who signed a one-year deal with the Titans to reunite with defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau.
The Steelers’ losing Spence is a blow to their inside linebacker depth, without question. The four-year veteran has started 13 games over the course of the past two seasons since overcoming a knee injury and logged several hundred snaps in the process, accumulating 90 tackles and two sacks.
