‘Their Schedule Is A Joke’: Sports Illustrated’s Matt Verderame Makes Case For Steelers As Potential AFC Contenders

During an offseason in which veterans such as cornerback Patrick Peterson, guard Isaac Seumalo and linebackers Cole Holcomb and Elandon Roberts were added via free agency, and wide receiver Allen Robinson II was acquired via trade, the Pittsburgh Steelers look to be in rather good shape heading into the 2023 season.

GM Omar Khan and assistant GM Andy Weidl, in their first full offseason in charge of the roster, have put together quite the offseason overall, nailing a number of free agent signings while hitting a handful of home runs in the 2023 NFL Draft.

For Sports Illustrated’s Matt Verderame, appearing on a recent episode of the Minus Three podcast with host Dave Dameshek under Omaha Productions for ESPN, the Steelers are quite the interesting team that could surprise many, in large part due to their strong defense and a schedule that “is a joke” this season.
