The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering perhaps the most critical offseason in recent memory. With longtime quarterback Ben Roethlisberger headed into retirement, Pittsburgh is kicking off a new and uncertain era.
There are plenty of reasons for optimism, though. Head coach Mike Tomlin—who has never had a losing season as head coach—is still in charge. The Steelers are also in a good cap situation with $29.5 million projected to be available.
While there has been some coaching turnover, the additions of new defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and senior assistant/linebackers coach Brian Flores are good ones.
