Since there isn’t much going on with the team at this time, Steelers fans realize it’s not a bad thing if the Steelers aren’t at the top of the news cycle.
While we here at Behind The Steel Curtain will continue to bring you content as we always do, stories coming in the ‘breaking news’ department will be very few and far between.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are permitted to begin their training camp for the 2021 season as early as July 21, 2021.
While this is a date we can pretty much lock into our calendars, it still has not been officially announced by the Steelers.
The COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench into everything for the 2020 season and the Steelers were not permitted to go on the road for training camp and had to hold their practices at either the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex or Heinz Field.
I don’t know if it’s Covid protocols or other things which need cleared through the NFL, but hopefully Steelers fans will soon be receiving the news of when and where the Steelers will reconvene for their 2021 training camp.
The signing of eight of those draft picks came relatively close together as some signings were announced jointly.
The lone player remaining who is not under contract is Steelers third-round draft pick Kendrick Green.
Regardless of the reason, the news of a Kendrick Green rookie contract should be coming at any moment.
But with players like Malik Hooker and Trai Turner coming for visits over the last couple weeks, the Steelers are showing they could be in the market to add another player before training camp.
With expenses such as the 52nd and 53rd contract when the Steelers cut down the roster, signing of the practice squad which may be 16 players this season, and having money to do business throughout the NFL season, the Steelers might already be a little short of their regular-season goal at this time.
If the Steelers do choose to make a move at this time, the biggest question would be at which position.
So there are three stories which could, and in two cases should, be coming in the next several weeks.
