- 3 Steelers free agents the team must re-sign
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a long list of players getting set to hit free agency. Under former head coach Mike Tomlin, we had a good idea of how this would go and which players would be prioritized. Now, with Mike McCarthy in charge, all bets are off and predicting which players will stay and which will leave is everyone's best guess.
We are hoping for a full rebuild this offseason so if we are looking at must-sign guys on the team already, here are the only three we think the team cannot let leave.

Safety - Kyle Dugger
Pittsburgh has Kyle Dugger and Chuck Clark both in line to hit free agency and Dugger proved to be a much better player once the team brought him in. Dugger immediately stepped into the starting lineup and finished with two interceptions in nine games, proving invaluable thanks to his position versatility.
Cornerback - Asante Samuel Jr .
It's unlikely the Steelers will re-sign Asante Samuel Jr. and James Pierre and while we love Pierre as a player and he's a fan favorite, we like Samuel as a younger option by three years and room for growth as a player.
Punter - Corliss Waitman
The last thing this team needs is to waste time trying to find a new punter. Waitman was in the bottom third of the NFL in yards per punt, but it's important to keep in mind that the difference between Waitman at No. 27 and the No. 12 punter was just 2.4 yards.
