Steelers | Will Allen not expected back Fri Feb 26, 08:40 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent SS Will Allen is not expected to re-sign with the Steelers this offseason.
| Footballguys view: The aging Allen is not the same player he used to be. The Steelers will be re-working their secondary this offseason, and replacing Allen is just a start. On the open market, we could see Allen getting a one-year deal from a team looking for veteran depth. |

The Pittsburgh Steelers are not expected to show an interest in free-agent FS Ed Reed (Jets), as they already have four safeties with Will Allen, Michael Mitchell, Troy Polamalu and Shamarko Thomas, and Robert Golden also could push for a spot, so there is no room for Reed right now.
| Footballguys view: Reed's best days are far behind him. He bounced from the Texans to the Jets last year, and Reed looked old and slow when he was on the field. The Steelers need a youth movement on defense, not a recycled player who has seen better days. |
