Steelers named top landing spot for free agent edge rusher
The Steelers are being named as the favorites to land free-agent edge rusher Kyle Van Noy after the 2023 NFL Draft, according to Pro Football Focus, who predicted where the top free agents would land after the draft’s conclusion.
Brad Spielberger wrote that Van Noy makes plenty of sense for the team after the New England Patriots released him during in 2022, but he vastly overperformed his one-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. The rationale is quite simple, and it is the fact that there is still a clear need for quality edge depth for the Steelers behind Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt.
“The Steelers are set with their starters at edge and made a shrewd draft selection in Wisconsin’s Nick Herbig, who profiles as a similar player to Van Noy,” Spielberger wrote. “Still, Van Noy could be a nice rotational piece for the Steelers, as he also has the flexibility to play some off-ball linebacker — which isn’t a super deep position group for Pittsburgh.”
