2 free agents the Steelers could sign to replace NT Breiden Fehoko

Last week the Pittsburgh Steelers placed nose tackle Breiden Fehoko on IR, sending his season before it began. This leaves the Steelers one man short on the nose tackle depth chart behind Keeanu Benton and Montravius Adams.

As it stands, the Steelers might not even choose to commit to adding another player outside of perhaps a camp body for depth. The Steelers love to utilize defensive linemen who can move around the front playing inside and outside.

But should the Steelers feel the need to have a third nose tackle on the 53-man roster, here are two available free agents to consider.

First up is Bryan Mone. Mone is 28 years old and was a rotational player for the Seattle Seahawks for his first five NFL seasons. Mone has eight career starts, all over the last two seasons and at 6-foot-3 and 345 pounds is a tough player to get off a block.

Another option that fits the mold of a Steelers lineman a bit more is Daviyon Nixon. Nixon is only 25 years old but has spent time with three different teams. Nixon wasn’t on an NFL roster in 2023 but the upside is there for a former fifth-round pick.
