3. Steelers could target Germaine Pratt in free agency

Some might not like the thought of bringing in Germaine Pratt as he is in a dark cloud currently. He was seen after their playoff loss verbally speaking out against his teammate heading into the locker room. It seemed to be a crime of passion more than anything as emotions were still running high after a tough playoff loss.


The Steelers need a good linebacker and Pratt is one of the most proven on this list of potential replacements for Jack. He is a former third-round selection of the Bengals way back in 2019. Since then, he has become one of the better players on Cincinnati's defense and should gain a nice contract this offseason.

4. Steelers could target Kyzir White in free agency


Things look to be heading towards free agency again for Kyzir White after signing a one-year contract with the Eagles last offseason. He did not have a huge market and had to take a short-term contract to hopefully cash in this offseason. The Steelers would be able to save some money between what White is likely to make in free agency when compared to Jack's current cap hit.

The Philadelphia effect is real as that defense had a ton of talent across the lineup this past season. White was overshadowed by T.J. Edwards and both should enjoy some nice contracts coming their way this signing season. White has stacked some solid seasons as a starter for two separate clubs, but you would like to see him apply more pressure to the quarterback from time to time.
