Problem With Steelers Secondary Isn't What You Think -- It's Worse
Alan Saunders says the problems exposed in the Pittsburgh Steelers secondary by the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday aren't what you think.
The Pittsburgh Steelers spent their 2025 offseason revamping their defense, keeping it the league’s most-expensive unit while attempting to tailor its talents to stop the Baltimore Ravens on the ground and slow down the Cincinnati Bengals through the air.
- Shipped out All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick
- Replaced him with journeymen at that position
- Reallocation of resources to the cornerback position
- Spent $10 million in free agency on Darius Slay
- Traded Fitzpatrick for Jalen Ramsey
The team now has three starting caliber cornerbacks: Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey, and Darius Slay.
Alan Saunders notes that the problems in the Steelers secondary are worse than expected.
