The Pittsburgh Steelers have made some big moves this offseason, namely signing quarterback Russell Wilson, trading for quarterback Justin Fields, and signing linebacker Patrick Queen away from the Baltimore Ravens.
These are aggressive moves made in an effort to get the franchise back to a level it has not sniffed since Ben Roethlisberger retired, and according to one analyst, the Steelers might not be done yet.
The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly went on “The Pat McAfee Show” to talk Steelers and said, “The Steelers still got a lot of money to spend and I don’t think they’re done yet.”

You’ve gotta give a lot of credit to Omar Khan and Art Rooney” ~ @MarkKaboly #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/QnxpGoaVnl

Kaboly added that general manager Omar Khan and owner Art Rooney deserve a lot of credit for this offseason.
Kaboly also added that the vibe in the city is “skeptical” as Pittsburgh doesn’t operate this way, in terms of firing coaches midseason and making big splashes in free agency.
According to Spotrac, the Steelers still have about $15 million in cap space, so there is room for another move or two before the draft.
The most obvious area of need would be wide receiver, as the Steelers traded Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers and cut Allen Robinson, leaving George Pickens and Calvin Austin to carry the weight of the wide receiver room, though the team did bring in veteran Van Jefferson as a depth piece.
Pittsburgh has a strong history of drafting receivers, and this class is projected to be deep, so that could be where they elect to provide Russ with some new weapons as opposed to free agency.
