Steelers resolve their issues in latest offseason mock before free agency begins

Steelers re-sign some of their own pending free agents

Offensive re-signings: Zach Gentry: 2 years 4 million, Steven Simms: 1 year 1.2 million, Derek Watt: 1 year, 1 million, Miles Boykin: 1 year 950,000, Christian Kuntz: 1 year 850,000

Pittsburgh brings back some role players on the offensive side of the ball. Zach Gentry is one of the more notable offensive free agents and he brings back some great depth at the tight end spot. They also bring back Steven Simms as he has some restricted rights going his way this offseason. One of the biggest question marks is the future of Derek Watt, but the Steelers bring him back on a pay cut for another season.

Miles Boykin had a standout year as a special teams contributor, so the black and gold reward him with a slight pay increase for the upcoming season. Christian Kuntz had a solid performance in 2023 and seemingly will come back as the long-snapper for next year as well. Nothing too flashy with the offensive signings, but some valuable depth and supply bodies return at significant roles.

Defensive re-signings: Cam Sutton: 3 years 23 million, Terrell Edmunds: 2 years, 11 million, Larry Ogunjobi: 2 years 12 million, Damontae Kazee: 2 years 5 million, James Pierre: 1 year 1.5 million, Chris Wormley: 1 year 1 million

Here are where the bigger names are located for the Steelers' pending free agents. They are able to re-sign Cam Sutton, Terrell Edmunds, and Larry Ogunjobi for a combined cap hit of around 19 million. That is a nice accomplishment as they get three defensive starters back on fair deals. The club also re-signs other depth pieces as well, which includes a buy low risk on Chris Wormley as he works his way back from a knee injury.
