Outside free agent agreements to sign
Mitchell “Mitch” Trubisky (quarterback): Per Albert Breer of SI.com and other reports, the Steelers have offered the former Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills quarterback a two-year contract with a base value of $14 million. Believed by many to be a bridge quarterback between retired Ben Roethlisberger and a potential draft signee in 2023, Trubisky will get the opportunity to compete with Mason Rudolph and Haskins in training camp if he signs the deal with Pittsburgh.
Levi Wallace (cornerback): Wallace, an undrafted free agent (Alabama, 2018) spent his last four years with the Buffalo Bills. As a full-time starter, Williams grabbed two interceptions in each of the last three seasons. Per Pro Football Talk, the Steelers have offered the corner a two-year, $8 million contract. – update: reportedly signing tendered offer
James Daniels (offensive line): Daniels, a second-round selection in 2018 (Iowa), played with the Chicago Bears over the last four seasons. NFL Media reports indicate that Daniels has agreed to terms with the Steelers that would include a three-year deal for $26.5 million if he were to sign it on Wednesday, March 16.
Mason Cole (offensive guard/center): Cole, formerly with the Minnesota Vikings, has reportedly also agreed to terms on a deal with the Steelers that would keep him in Pittsburgh for three years for around $15 million.
