The Steelers have a bunch of needs as they write their list to Santa just in time for Christmas. 

The Steelers will be looking to find some extra Christmas gifts under the tree this year. They have a lot of needs for this team and it will probably take some time to fix their issues. They are not having the strongest season and are at risk of missing the playoffs.

Santa Claus is not the fix to everyone’s issues and he can’t bring everything on people’s lists. Football takes time and effort to produce a winning product on the field. A mystical being like St. Nick will not be able to magically address all these issues, that will take the reality of Coach Mike Tomlin and General Manager Kevin Colbert to fix.

This article is for fun with a base in major reality with the needs at hand for this team now and into the future. They will have a lot of holes to fill when the offseason comes in 2022. This upcoming year is going to be a huge sway when it comes to the future success of this franchise.

The first thing to accomplish this offseason will be looking at different contracts and deciding to move on from different players or even free up some cash by renegotiating deals. The re-signing phase will be another interesting moment in time as the Steelers need to figure out if they want to bring back some veterans or move on.

Free agency will be one of the biggest times for the black and gold as they have some cash to spend. They will likely address some needs in this phase of the offseason but they need to spend their money wisely. The draft will be the biggest focus for Pittsburgh as they operate by adding through their selections.
