Contracts For Steelers Veterans Myles Jack, Eric Rowe Now Expired; Free To Sign With Playoff Teams

While it may seem unlikely that playoff-bound teams will pursue them, it remains a possibility. The Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions are the remaining four teams in the postseason. One of those teams could technically make a move to bolster their defensive depth and sign them on.

Cam Heyward, the revered veteran of the Steelers defense, expressed his bewilderment at how a talent as exceptional as Rowe ended up with the Steelers. Rowe's impressive performance has garnered praise from his fellow teammates, making him a player the Steelers would maybe prefer to retain on their roster.

Additionally, the Steelers themselves could make efforts to re-sign Rowe and Jack. However, it's important to note that the Steelers no longer possess exclusive negotiating rights, making the situation more intriguing.

Jack came out of retirement to aid his former team, the Steelers. Rowe stepped up admirably in a secondary plagued by injuries and the suspension of Damontae Kazee. Both Jack and Rowe helped the Steelers during the most pivotal moments of the season in securing three consecutive victories and making a playoff push. 

While the future of Rowe and Jack in Pittsburgh may be uncertain, it's essential to acknowledge their significant contributions during a critical stretch of the season. Their dedication and impact on the Steelers' performance won't be forgotten. The coming weeks will reveal whether they remain a part of the Steelers' roster or find new opportunities elsewhere.
