Will Steelers Add Another Vet Starter To Secondary

Will the Steelers still add another outside veteran starting defensive back?

The Steelers released S Keanu Neal and CB Patrick Peterson in the past week or so, but found new components. They acquired CB Donte Jackson via trade in exchange for WR Diontae Johnson. They also signed S DeShon Elliott, most assuming he steps into the starting lineup.

While they already have CB Joey Porter Jr. and S Minkah Fitzpatrick, they still need another defensive back. Damontae Kazee is not their starting slot defender—or at least if he is, the Steelers made a mistake. Kazee has experience playing in the slot, but not in a full-time role.
