Steelers free agency: Are names like J.J. Watt, Jarvis Landry serious options amid injuries?
Post-Gazette sports writers Adam Bittner and Noah Hiles analyze the Steelers' free agency options following injuries to Cam Heyward and Diontae Johnson during the NFL Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers at Acrisure Stadium. Should general manager Omar Khan consider names like J.J. Watt, Jarvis Landry, Carlos Dunlap and Julio Jones as potential replacements? Could those guys realistically be in shape to help the Steelers over the timeframes in question? Or are the Steelers better off seeing what they have in young players including George Pickens, Calvin Austin III, DeMarvin Leal and Keeanu Benton? Our duo tackles those questions. And later, Noah puts on his Pitt football beat reporter hat to preview the Backyard Brawl against West Virginia. Will the Panthers be prepared for the hostile environment of Morgantown after complaining about boos at home this past week against Cincinnati? Should Pat Narduzzi consider a change at quarterback if Phil Jurkovec struggles again? And should this rivalry game be played every year?
