4 players who are playing their way out of the Steelers plans in 2024…
As we inch closer to the end of the 2023 season, it has not been hard to identify some of the biggest issues on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster.
8This team has gotten disappointing play out of some of their recent draft picks, while a few free-agent signings have yet to earn their paychecks from the team.
Several of these players already have fans and bloggers detailing what the team could do to replace them during the 2024 offseason.
One thing the Steelers do have going for them is that they have the highest percentage of snaps played so far this season set to return on their 2024 roster.
What’s worse is that Pittsburgh gave the aging veteran a two-year contract. Peterson is set to have a cap hit of over $9.77 million next season, per Over the Cap, and the team would be forced to eat nearly $3 million in dead money to get out of his deal in 2024.
However, this is what is likely to happen based on his unspectacular performance. Mike Tomlin should learn rather quickly that experience and reputation only mean so much if your secondary is old and slow.
I highly doubt Patrick Peterson will be part of the Steelers’ future plans.
