Steelers release Keion Adams: Do they have a plan at Edge?

The Pittsburgh Steelers recently released edge rusher, Keion Adams. Adams, along with five others, were released to make room for the team’s new acquisitions following minicamp. Keion Adams was a former draft choice just two years ago, and is the latest in a string of somewhat head-scratching moves (or lack of moves) by the Steelers. This leads me to question: Does Pittsburgh have a plan at Edge?

Keion Adams is no T.J. Watt. As a former 7th round pick, it’s not like the Steelers had a lot invested in him. However, the departure of Adams leaves very little competition (and depth) at the edge defender position in Pittsburgh.
