A whopping seven Steelers made the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the33rdteam.com\/2025-nfl-free-agency-rankings-top-100-players-available-this-offseason\/\">33rd Team\u2019s list of top 100 free agents,<\/a> most of them coming from the offensive side of the football. Here\u2019s how author Dan Pizzuta ranked them.<\/p>\n<h4>Steelers Top 100 Free Agents<\/h4>\n<p><strong>No. 40 \u2013<\/strong> QB Justin Fields<br \/>\n<strong>No. 47 \u2013<\/strong> OT Dan Moore Jr.<br \/>\n<strong>No. 48 \u2013<\/strong> OG James Daniels<br \/>\n<strong>No. 53 \u2013<\/strong> QB Russell Wilson<br \/>\n<strong>No. 58 \u2013<\/strong> CB Donte Jackson<br \/>\n<strong>No. 62 \u2013<\/strong> RB Najee Harris<br \/>\n<strong>No. 96 \u2013<\/strong> WR Mike Williams<\/p>\n<p>The cluster of Steelers come in the middle, starting with Fields and ending with Harris. Fields and Wilson are two of the top three pending free agent quarterbacks though others like the New York Jets\u2019 Aaron Rodgers, Atlanta Falcons\u2019 Kirk Cousins, and possibly even the New Orleans Saints\u2019 Derek Carr could join them. Consistent with other outlets, the Minnesota Vikings\u2019 Sam Darnold is easily the top quarterback on the list, coming in at No. 18, but Fields should have a market after progressing in 2024 while Wilson can take advantage of a down year overall for the position. One of them is likely to return to Pittsburgh, though the jury is out on whom.<\/p>\n<p>Moore and Daniels began last season starting along the Steelers\u2019 offensive line. Only Moore ended in that role. Daniels tore his Achilles in Week 4, cutting short what was supposed to be a solid season leading to a big-time payday in a hot guard market. Instead, Daniels will have to show he\u2019s healthy before signing and could take a one-year, prove-it deal before cashing in during the 2026 offseason. Fortunately, he\u2019ll still be in the prime of his career by then. Moore has plenty of left tackle experience and has incrementally improved throughout his career. Teams will pay good money for that kind of resume even if Moore is a far cry from a franchise left tackle.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson\u2019s listing feels high and inflated by his career-high five interceptions in 2024. Still, ball production is valued and he\u2019s a good locker room fit who enjoyed a strong first half of the season before fading down the stretch. Harris is a workhorse and the list\u2019s No. 2 free agent running back only trailing the Minnesota Vikings\u2019 Aaron Jones, setting him up for a potential $10 million payday. A strong draft class, however, will reduce some of his value.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Williams sneaks inside the top 100 despite quiet stints with the New York Jets and Steelers. Still, he can make downfield plays and perhaps being two years removed from his 2023 torn ACL will serve him well physically and mentally.<\/p>\n<p>The top five free agents consist of a pair of wide receivers in the Cincinnati Bengals\u2019 Tee Higgins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers\u2019 Chris Godwin.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the names on that list won\u2019t return as Steelers. Moore, Daniels, Williams, and at least one of the quarterbacks are likely to be playing elsewhere in 2025. Harris\u2019 odds of return were slightly boosted thanks to a <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2025\/02\/chances-are-better-he-returns-than-not-for-najee-harris-dulac-believes\/\">report from the PPG\u2019s Gerry Dulac that left that door open<\/a> but it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see him sign elsewhere. Instead, Pittsburgh could focus on adding external free agents at corner, wide receiver, and potentially defensive line in an effort to reshape its roster and get over the hump in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"384\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cropped-depot-logo1.png\"><\/p>\n<p><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cropped-depot-logo1.png\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Steelers Depot\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2025\/02\/seven-steelers-make-list-of-nfl-top-100-free-agents\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a> Alex Kozora<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an unremarkable list of internal free agents after the 2023 season, there will be plenty of notable Pittsburgh Steelers on the move after the 2024 campaign.
