The Pittsburgh Steelers still have work to do in free agency ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, and it is worth taking a look at who is still available on the open market. This list is compiled from NFL.com’s Top 101 free agent list, and is specifically for the Steelers positions of need heading into the draft, and after several moves already made.

Let’s take a look at the “best of what’s left”, and be sure to note the underlying information below each player is from NFL.com:

CB – Stephon Gilmore — Age: 33

“The best free-agent pickups in recent years have been excellent veterans willing to take one-year deals. Gilmore, still a plus starter, figures to be one of those guys this season. An instant upgrade for virtually any team.”

S – Justin Simmons — Age: 30

“Thirty-year-old safeties won’t break the bank in this market, but Simmons is a surefire upgrade to many rosters. His leadership, experience and playmaking ability (he’s still got enough) should warrant a multi-year deal.”

OL – Connor Williams — Age 27

“Williams would have been one of the most highly sought-after interior-line free agents if not for a torn ACL late in the 2023 season.”

CB – Steven Nelson — Age: 31

“Nelson has turned into that guy who signs a replacement-level short-term deal, stabilizes a starting cornerback spot and then has everyone wondering why he was so inexpensive in free agency in the first place. Can it last forever?”

CB – Adoree Jackson — Age: 28

“A walking example of how cornerback play isn’t consistent year to year, Jackson’s best seasons have been excellent. Just don’t leave him on an island all season like Wink Martindale did last year.”

WR – Tyler Boyd — Age: 29

“A nightmarish 2023 season likely ended Boyd’s great run with the Bengals. With a big slot skill set and a history of consistency before last year, he could be a fine buy-low candidate.”

S – Micah Hyde — Age: 33

“Hyde, like Devin McCourty during his time in New England, has managed to quarterback a defense at a high level deep into his mid-30s.”

WR – Michael Thomas — Age: 31

“Thomas hasn’t been healthy enough to play a full season since 2019, but he showed flashes of his old form in 10 games last year. He’s worth a flier just for the social accounts.”

OT – Donovan Smith — Age: 31

“Smith held up well enough for the Chiefs to win a Super Bowl, but it’s clear he’s in the decline phase of an otherwise consistent career.”
