The Steelers made Bud Dupree a very rich man this offseason. To the surprise of many, Pittsburgh elected to pick up the 5th year option of the underwhelming pass rusher. Regardless of their decision to do this, Dupree has produced so little in his first four years that it begs the question: Should the Steelers hold a tryout for the starting job at right outside linebacker?
Bud Dupree has produced just 20.0 sacks in 54 games for the Steelers. Pro Football Focus does not think highly of the former 1st round pick, as he was PFF’s 78th ranked edge defender with an overall grade of 60.
