The cream always rises to the top. The Pittsburgh Steelers have built one of the most storied franchises in NFL history, and no matter what the rosters have looked like over the years, the Steelers always manage to stay competitive. While much of the success falls on HC Mike Tomlin, the real work begins with the unsung heroes in the Steelers front office.
However, the team has its work cut out for them heading into 2025, as 21 Steelers players are scheduled to become free agents after this season. Pittsburgh showcased perhaps their best offseason work to date in 2024, and GM Omar Khan may need another masterclass in financial strategy to re-sign several key players next season. The team is currently projected to have $74.3 million to spend on talent in 2025, and while speculating on which players will remain on the team, here are 10 Steelers who are most likely to re-sign with Pittsburgh.
