And you look at his tackle for loss numbers, his sack numbers, he has excelled in that aspect of the game for somebody that plays safety.

There is worry about him being a little bit redundant.

to Deshaun Elliott, who is due to return from injury, and I love Deshaun Elliott.

He's been one of my favorite recent Steelers free agent signings.

Love watching the dude play.

But I'm not going to stay away from good football players just because two guys might have similar styles to what they do.

If the Steelers keep Jalen Ramsey, they return Deshaun Elliott from injury, and they sign someone like Brisker,

I will really like the makings of that defensive backfield.

They still have questions at slot and outside corner, but they would have a safety position filled with a really nice trio heading into 2026.

And his projection is between 10 and 11 million bucks.

And I think that would be money well spent.

You might think that's a little bit steep.

Oh, more money going into the defense.

I think he's a good player who shined in some pretty big games last season.

Number three, and this move will coincide with the outcome of Kenneth Gainwell's free agent decision, because I would like to have the Steelers bring back their team MVP in 2026.

But the third name on this list is Rico Dowdle.

And he makes sense to me for a couple of reasons.

He's a possible upgrade to Gainwell when it comes to ability and the numbers he has actually put up.

He would be another good mix with Jalen Warren.

And we know how nice the tandem was between Warren and Gainwell in 2025.
