3 reasons Steelers must commit to a rebuild in the 2022 offseason

Steelers are in no position to simply ‘reload’
You’ll hear it said: “Steelers don’t rebuild, they reload.” While this philosophy may have worked in the past, Pittsburgh is far from a position where they can simply ‘reload’ right now. Like last year, the Steelers could have a lot of turnover on their roster this year, and we already talked about the talent they are lacking.
When Pittsburgh was a legitimate Super Bowl contender, they could afford to throw what little money they had at veteran players who could step and be a temporary solution to a long-term problem. This is no longer the case.
Gone are the days when the Steelers can simply throw a band-aid over their wounds and call it good. This team has some serious issues that run all the way to the core. With so many needs to fill and not enough talent to stay competitive, Pittsburgh doesn’t need to ‘reload,’ they need a true rebuild.
