What if you looked at the Steelers depth chart from a slightly different standpoint? What if it included expiring contracts?
Would it change your perspective on where the Steelers should direct their attention 1st this offseason?
A snap shot of the Steelers current depth chart, along with notations on contracts slated to expire in the next 14 months appears above. Players marked with # are scheduled to be UFAs in 2017. I did not include players due to be restricted or exclusive rights free agents at the end of 2016.
People are visual by nature. When you look at the depth chart this way it, rather than just considering where you may believe the team needs improvement, it becomes clear where the Steelers personnel priorities lie before free agency and the draft. Whatever moves the Steelers make must take into consideration expiring contracts.
If you leave those places on the depth chart blank, where a UFA occupies that spot, it becomes even more clear.

How many weeks until the draft?
Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness.. yummy… yummy…
Fellow Ballers, another year has come and gone. Sadly it ended a little sooner than hoped, but it was a fascinating season with many positives.
Now is the time for us to review our 2015 season prognostications and crown a new Steel Balls Trophy champion. It was a tough competition with over 50% of participants correctly predicting the Steelers’ regular season win total. This meant we had to dig deep into the complex and secretly guarded tie-breaking procedures in order to determine a winner beyond dispute.
Please read on to discover this year’s winner.

This isn’t the first time a Steelers HOF quarterback had to look for extra special assistance for an ailing arm. Maybe Rajah is still available. (Click to enlarge).
I know this is last week’s game which is irrelevant, but it’s still pretty funny to watch.
Isn’t this exactly the same way that The Bus reacted after his epic fumble in Indianapolis in 2005?
No, I’m not serious. That’s some smarmy sarcasm there. In case you weren’t sure.
That is making the rounds on social media is a fabrication. I post this in an effort to keep the people that frequent this page from believing and proliferating nonsense. Validating stories like this makes our fanbase look, well … stupid.
