Steelers Named ‘Logical’ Landing Spot For Veteran Defender

The Pittsburgh Steelers probably aren’t done tinkering with their roster.

Steelers general manager Omar Khan would probably like to add another wide receiver to the fold, while there’s a sudden need for tight end depth. It’s also been floated that the organization could make a run at veteran depth in the defensive backfield and along the offensive line.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox pointed toward one former member of the club as a logical choice to return.

“Hilton spent his first four seasons in Pittsburgh, and the Steelers appear to be all-in on the 2025 season after signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers,” Knox wrote. “They should be interested in adding corner depth for the upcoming campaign, and Hilton would be an upgrade over second-year slot corner Beanie Bishop Jr.

Hilton had a successful first run in Pittsburgh, playing in 59 games with 20 starts, recording 237 tackles, 9.5 sacks, 36 tackles for loss and seven interceptions.
