I think they will do a lot of trades with out major cutting
They start with about 45 million to spend
One cut I think they will make is Jonnu Smith
Trades
Steelers Receive:2027 4th rounder
Bills Receive:Jalen Ramsey
Steelers Receive:2027 6th rounder
Panthers Receive:Roman Wilson
Steelers Receive:2027 3rd rounder,2027 6th rounder
Commanders Receive:Alex Highsmith,2026 6th rounder
Steelers Receive:Anthony Richardson,2027 6th Rounder
Colts Receive:Mason Rudolph,2026 4th rounder
Jalen is older guy and the Steelers need a young defense And the bills are a win now team who need good players
Roman Wilson needs to find his rhythm and with Bryce young being the qb that he is will make him a part of the offense
Alex Is a great talent but if you haven’t caught it yet I feel like the Steelers should build up all these picks to find a franchise qb in the 2027 draft not the 2026 draft
And Anthony is a better backup then Mason for Aaron Rodgers and his last season
All of these release a lot cap
Resignings
Resign Aaron Rodgers to 1 yr 10.5 million
Resign Asante Samuel jr 3yr 18 million
Resign Kenneth gainwell 1 yr 2.25 million
Resign Corliss waitman 1yr 1.75 million
Resign Daniel ekuale 1yr 1.26 million
Rodgers will be resigned for his last season,Samuel will remain CB2,Gainwell is very good and they will want to keep him as a secret weapon,Waitman is a solid punter and Ekuale is a good DL
Signs
David Edwards 3yrs 59.7 million
Rashid Shaheed 3yrs 42.3 million
Jalen Thompson 2yrs 18.9 million
Christian Kirk 1yr 5.3 million
Johnathon Jones 1yr 5 million
Elandon Roberts 1yr 2.69 million
Edwards will fill in for seumalo while he goes to the saints and Edwards is arguably the better OL In my opinion and he’s a Good Vet to have
Shaheed is definitely a home run hitter type of guy his speed is one of a kind and I think the Steelers need that
Thompson is a great safety add that doesn’t cost them to much dough
Kirk could be Wilson’s Replacement as a wr3,wr4 and brings some experience to the team
Jones brings some great CB depth and is still good
Robert’s is a steeler by heart with his play style and he needs a spot back in the rotation
Draft
1st round pick:Denzel Boston
Just imagine this WR Room metcalf,Shaheed,Boston,Kirk
A perfect mix of experience and Skill
He is a great fit and this wr room will help find their franchise qb
2nd Round pick:Jacob Rodriguez
Now with his performance at the senior bowl he might move up to a 1st round pick but as of rn I think this is safe
Then need a plan for the future with queen on his last year of his deal then they will have Rodriguez take his spot
3rd Round picks:Zakee Wheatley,Darrell Jackson Jr,Malik Muhammad
Wheatley is one of the best safetys in the class he will be that perfect number 3 safety after signing Thompson
If heyward retires they need backups for that spot and Jackson is perfect for that spot
Muhammad makes this secondary even more youthful and he’s a big plus to the team
4th round pick:Bryce Lane
A decent WR who can be that WR5,WR6 with a big upside who could play WR 2 at one point in time
5th round pick:J’Mari Taylor
A good rb in a good rb who reached over 1,000 rushing yds last season and can be that IR replacement for Warren or gainwell
6th round pick:Eli Heidenreich
He can play FB,TE,WR whatever you need and I feel like he will be the Jonnu Smith Replacement as TE2
7th round picks:Joshua Braun,Xavian Sorey Jr
Braun is A good guard that could help out Edwards in that gap if needed or develop him into a star
A good LB to add to that room and all they need to do is develop him
Thanks for reading,dolphins are coming up next
CFB tournament is back underway so stay tuned
