Will Stephon Tuitt Return for Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022? Salary Cap, NFL Draft Thoughts on Defense

Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers - Un podcast de Locked On Podcast Network, Christopher Carter

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. Stephon Tuitt's absence was certainly felt for the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense that dropped to have the worst run defense in the NFL in 2021. But can he return for the Steelers in 2022? There's no definitive answer, but there are context clues from Tuitt's recent history, Art Rooney Jr.'s comments, and the obvious importance Tuitt has in how this team is constructed. He's one of the team's most expensive players in 2022 and if he returns he could be a major asset to work with T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Alex Highsmith. But if he doesn't that would open a lot of salary cap space for the team to use. Also, the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams are in the Super Bowl. What does that say for the future of the NFL and the direction it's going with so many young quarterbacks finding success early in their careers? What does that say for the Steelers' chances in the coming years without Ben Roethlisberger? Follow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.
