The Pittsburgh Steelers have been busy making huge moves this offseason, but there are a few more contracts to hand out — specifically to several players set to hit free agency in 2027.
From a 2025 breakout offensive tackle to one of the league's most underrated defensive linemen, here are three Steelers set to become 2027 free agents that the team must re-sign.
Cook didn't help replace Broderick Jones and Andrus Peat last season; he all but earned himself a shot at a starting offensive tackle position in 2026. One of the most surprising breakout performances to close out the 2025 season, Cook would be, at worst, a strong depth option for Pittsburgh for years to come.
Taking steps toward becoming one of the NFL's most elite lockdown cornerbacks, Porter is arguably the Steelers' biggest re-signing target. Having allowed only one touchdown in his three-year NFL career, Porter deserves to be paid on this upcoming extension, and the Steelers should give him every penny.
Benton has quietly improved every season he's been in the NFL, finishing things off with a solid 5.5-sack, 51-tackle season in 2025. The Steelers haven't been shied away from investing in the future of their defensive line, and Benton should be a part of the succession plan once Cam Heyward decides to call it a career.
