Steelers: 3 2022 free agent targets about to play in Super Bowl 56

Pittsburgh Steelers fans should pay close attention to these three soon-to-be free agents playing in Super Bowl 56 on Sunday.

While the Pittsburgh Steelers face plenty of uncertainty this offseason, expect for them to try to improve their roster in NFL free agency.

Though they are lacking great draft capital or more importantly, a franchise quarterback, the Steelers in a good spot when it comes to the salary cap. This will help usher in a new era of the Pittsburgh front office after general manager Kevin Colbert retires. With plenty of holes to fill on this roster, maybe a player from the Cincinnati Bengals or the Los Angeles Rams can help them?

Here are three players playing in Super Bowl 56 who could help out the Steelers in free agency.

Pittsburgh Steelers: 3 free agents to target who are playing in Super Bowl 56

Who wouldn’t love an Odell Beckham Jr. spite season playing for the Steelers?

Though there is a chance Odell Beckham Jr. could re-up with the Rams, it is more likely than not he is a short-term rental for the NFC champions. Beckham came to Los Angeles with a Super Bowl on his mind and an opportunity to help offset the Rams losing Robert Woods for the season. Woods has been the Rams’ guy for years, so there may be some baked in loyalty to this football equation.

There are three things Beckham will have to sort of when it comes to his upcoming NFL free agency: Media market, football brand and playing for a winning organization. While the Steelers only check two of those boxes, they are unequivocally a winning organization and a top-three brand in the entire league. Beckham should know this from this time with the Cleveland Browns.

Though he may not sign a multi-year team with a team like the Steelers, given their uncertainty at the quarterback position, it would be entertaining as hell for Beckham to give Pittsburgh a good, old-fashioned spite season just to rub in the faces of the division rival Browns. Twice a year, he would get a chance to strut his stuff against a team he was underutilized in their passing offense.

If Pittsburgh can do better than Mason Rudolph or Dwayne Haskins at quarterback, he may come.
