Pittsburgh Steelers has not yet found a defensive lineman in the off -season. Instead, the team consumed deeply strengthening free agency resources. Isaiahh Loudermilk signed again when the organization brought Daniel Ekuale and Esezi Otomewo from outside. The focus is on the NFL draft and the team can consider choosing at the top, there is a stealer with forgotten stealers. Dean Lori.
It will be difficult to blame someone. Lowry, which signed a two -year contract in the last offseason, was injured in summer and in winter. Lori started a training camp in a dog list, with the intention to play an ekuale or loudermilk role, and the basic end of rotation, and the 2023 season is recovering from the short breast tears.
As the camp ended, Lowry made a list of 53 people after seeing the pre -season behavior. During the first two weeks of the inactive regular season, he made his regular debut in the third week. The game time was rare.
After a year after the injury of Larry Ogunjobi, Lowry had a significant snap with PHILADELPHIA EAGLES with 16 weeks and Baltimore Ravens. Pittsburgh’s run defense was shaken by giving up 220 rushed yards to Raven as part of Steelers’ five defeated skids.
Lowry ended the year with the clothes of the street. The last three games, the last pairs of the last season and the loss of wild cards in the Steelers, Loudermilk and Montravius Adams handled the mission on the bench. Like the NBA lineup, Ogunjobi returned while Pittsburgh shortened the bench and placed more on the shoulders of Cam Hayward and Kiano Benton.
Lori’s season ended with poor statistics. 5 tackles over 12 games. According to his credit, he had a sack and pass bias, but the sack came against Scrambling Rama Jackson in a ruptured RPO. Low quality takedown. The sample size was small, but the pressure rate was good, and his individual highlights blocked the field goal with the victory of New York jets at Pittsburgh’s special team heater.
Advanced metrics like PFFs were not touching. They agreed that his pass rush was the most powerful side in his game, but at least 100 snaps ranked 171 of 174 defensive lines. His run defense It is tied to the entire final league.
But he remains on the list. His way and probability of making 2025 lists is slim, but Pittsburgh’s repeated offseason signing signal trust, $ 2.5 million in 2025 ($ 2.5 million in 2025), the same options or roster bonuses as Ogubi cuts him and hits him.
He stirs a canoe like Cordarelle Patterson. The replacement has been found. Kenneth gainwell in Patterson, Ekuale of Lowry. But Steelers will hang on both drafts and use the zero shortcomings for at least for a while for a while. In the worst case, if a monster occurs during the spring exercise, it is a protection of injuries.
If Lowry makes it in the training camp, he will think later. Assuming that Pittsburgh is investing in a draft, there are few practitioners in the team, run three teams when evaluating the new face that the team has boarded. In a defense similar to Green Bay Packers, which made Preston Smith a trade deadline, the Lowry was at the end of the NFL line by 2023 PEC tears and on June 31 in 2024 season. At least his time in Pittsburgh went up even if he was not formulated for months.
