The Pittsburgh Steelers have shuffled some players around this offseason and added new faces. Here is my offseason starting lineup prediction heading into 2020.
From year to year, there never seems to be monumental roster changes for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are a team that typically doesn’t have a lot of turnovers and they don’t usually spend big in free agency.
But despite their old-fashioned ways, there will certainly be changes to Pittsburgh’s starting lineup this year. Starting nose tackle, Javon Hargrave, earned a rich new deal with the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason while Ramon Foster retired.
In addition, Mike Tomlin made it clear in a June interview that several players will undergo positional changes this year to fill the voids on their offensive and defensive lines. Matt Feiler and Tyson Alualu were the two names mentioned who will be in transition when training camp kicks off.
While some of these changes could have a negative impact on the team, there’s plenty of reason to think that the Steelers starting lineup could be improved overall. Though they didn’t make a splash in free agency, Pittsburgh went out and got a former Pro Bowl tight end in Eric Ebron and a versatile, veteran offensive lineman in Stefen Wisniewski. In addition, they made a rare divisional trade with the Baltimore Ravens for a defensive lineman, Chris Wormley.
It’s still very early in the year, and we should know more after training camp kicks off, but here is my Pittsburgh Steelers starting lineup prediction heading into the 2020 NFL season:
