The Pittsburgh Steelers left the 2024 NFL draft with three potential new offensive line signings.
The arrivals of Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick reshuffled the O-line depth chart and put some players on the brink of being cut before Week 1.
Fautanu is expected to start at the left tackle spot occupied by Dan Moore Jr., while Frazier should be the new starting center.
McCormick will be in competition for one of the guard spots, and if he wins the job, the Steelers could be in the position to cut two offensive linemen.
The wide receiver depth chart absolutely has to be trimmed down before Week 1 following Roman Wilson’s arrival.
An offseason signing could be the roster casualty in that positional battle.
Moore lost his starting spot at left tackle once the Steelers selected Fautanu with the 20th overall pick.
Fautanu and Broderick Jones will be the Steelers’ offensive tackle tandem for years to come and that leaves Moore in a backup role at best.
Moore could stick around as the backup to both young offensive linemen, but he could also face a roster cut.
The Steelers should keep more interior-based backups to help with McCormick and Frazier’s transition process to NFL starters.
That could keep Isaac Seumalo safe so that the Steelers have a player to start above McCormick, or to back him up.
