Steelers Sign Veteran CB Slay Amid Health Concerns

News summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made significant additions to their defense this offseason, including drafting defensive lineman Yahya Black and acquiring veteran cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay Jr. Black, known for his run-stopping ability and versatility along the defensive line, is expected to contribute early alongside veterans Cameron Heyward and Keeanu Benton. However, concerns linger over Slay's health, as he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in late 2023 and has dealt with multiple injuries throughout the 2024 season, prompting questions about his durability and future playing time. Despite these concerns, Slay signed a one-year $10 million deal with the Steelers and is set to start opposite Joey Porter Jr., forming a strong cornerback group with Ramsey. Additionally, the team is exploring options to upgrade their wide receiver corps, potentially targeting players like John Metchie III from the Houston Texans if internal candidates fail to emerge. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounds star linebacker T.J. Watt's contract extension, with the Steelers weighing the possibility of trading him if a deal is not reached, though trade value might not meet fan expectations.
