Pittsburgh is now set to open 2021 with four new starters up front
The Steelers' biggest question mark of 2021 got bigger on Thursday, with the team abruptly announcing the release of six-time Pro Bowl guard David DeCastro. Pittsburgh had already been set to open the new year, which could be quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's last, with three new starters on the offensive line following the departures of Alejandro Villanueva, Maurkice Pouncey and Matt Feiler. Now, a week after hosting free agent guard Trai Turner on a visit, the Steelers have said goodbye to their most accomplished remaining blocker. Pittsburgh signed Turner to a one-year deal following DeCastro's release, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
