While the Steelers have not been big spenders in Free Agency this offseason (as if they have ever been), there are a couple of guys on their radars which they will likely have to make a decision or two on in the coming weeks. Slot WR Jerricho Cotchery is still on the open market and apparently wants to come back and suit up for the Black & Gold long-term, and according to Pat Kirwin of CBS.Sportsline the Steelers are willing to bring him back. At this point in Free Agency however, Cotchery has garnered interest from Kansas City and St. Louis and the demand/rate for his services could have been driven up as of late. Thus, Cotchery could be headed elsewhere if he indeed wants a long-term deal at a higher price than what cash-strapped Pittsburgh may be willing to offer.
As for the other potential Free Agent signee, Buffalo appears to be ready to let their starting Left Tackle Demetrius Bell walk and the Steelers appear to at least be interested. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Bell came to the Steel City yesterday for a meeting with the team. While the Steelers do not have the budget of others interested in Bell’s services (Arizona, Washington, Green Bay, and most recently Philadelphia), they do have a need at Tackle and could sure use a player like him in 2012 to man the Left and/or Right Tackle position.
So what should the Steelers do in the coming weeks with Cotchery and Bell? Read on to hear my thoughts on the matter:
