The Pittsburgh Steelers are making waves as they approach free agency, with significant moves involving player contracts and potential trades. Cole Holcomb is returning after recovering from a knee injury, restructuring his contract to save the Steelers around $5 million, which now provides them with about $64 million in salary cap space.

There are intriguing possibilities for the inside linebacker position as Holcomb's return raises questions about the roles of Alandon Roberts and Pton Wilson. Discussions are ongoing regarding the potential acquisition of DK Metcalf, with a first and third-round pick on the table as compensation. The Steelers are focused on bolstering their receiving core, especially after missing out on Christian Kirk, who has signed with the Houston Texans. The pressure is mounting for the Steelers to finalize Justin Fields' deal, with rumors suggesting they are looking for a shorter-term contract.
