The Pittsburgh Steelers typically spend less money in free agency than other NFL teams, with the 2024 season serving as an exception. With that in mind, there are several potential free agents who may demand less money but still provide the Steelers with great talent. Here are five underrated free agents the Steelers should pursue in 2025.
The former 15th overall draft pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, Mac Jones could provide the Steelers with a high-upside backup option and great competition at quarterback for either Justin Fields or Russell Wilson.
Slayton's speed and deep-threat ability would add a much-needed vertical element to the Steelers' offense.
Despite having a breakout 2024 season, Becton may not make a splash in free agency due to his earlier struggles with injuries and inconsistent play with the New York Jets.
Griffin bounced back for the Vikings in 2024, allowing just two touchdowns all season and just a 73.8 passer rating when targeted.
Akers looked fantastic in the 2024 regular season but could remain under the radar due to two season-ending injuries since 2020.
