During the 2023 NFL season, a lot of things went wrong for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The team’s quarterback play and offensive coordinators receive a lot of credit, but the defense wasn’t without its problems.
The defense had some issues with consistency, in part because the faces in the lineup changed frequently because of injuries and a suspension for Damontae Kazee.
The issue is one that The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly believes could have been easily avoided at one position.
In an article with Mike DeFabo where they discussed season grades for Steelers players, Kaboly called not re-signing Terrell Edmunds a huge mistake for Pittsburgh.
Steelers Nation’s Parker Abate believes it’s a mistake the team shouldn’t repeat in 2024.
In talking about Kaboly’s assessment of the 2023 error, Abate suggested it would be wise for the Steelers to attempt to re-sign Edmunds in 2024.
With only $2 million left on his 2023 contract, Edmunds should be an affordable alternative to provide the Steelers with depth in 2024 after they finished 2023 with Eric Rowe and Patrick Peterson seeing a lot of playing time at safety.
While discussing Kaboly’s thoughts on the 2023 mistake, Abate said it would be smart for the Steelers to try and bring Edmunds back in 2024.
Edmunds’ contract for 2023 was only worth $2 million, which should mean that he would be a relatively cheap option to give the Steelers some depth in 2024 after they closed out 2023 with Patrick Peterson and Eric Rowe getting major playing time at safety.
