Steelers Daily: Vets on Roster Bubble, Trade for OL?
Several Pittsburgh Steelers veterans are on the roster bubble and external options for offensive line help are starting to emerge.
? The Steelers made five cuts on Tuesday, including releasing veteran linebacker Genard Avery and seventh-round draft pick quarterback Chris Oladokun. Nick Farabaugh argued that the team’s drafting of Oladokun with such a packed quarterback group ahead of him never made any sense.
? Cale Berger argues that the poor play of the Steelers’ offensive line is not a reason to hold back Kenny Pickett if he’s ready to be the team’s starting quarterback.
? The New England Patriots are taking trade calls for tackle Isaiah Wynn. Should the Steelers be interested?
? Myles Jack said he’s getting more and more comfortable in a Steelers defense, of which he is going to be expected to be one of the leaders.
