A new look offense
The first thing we can glean from the depth chart is how much turnover has occurred from 2023. A completely new QB room headlines alongside a WR room that portrays only George Pickens as a viable returning option. Pittsburgh will need rookie WR Roman Wilson to step up immediately barring a big trade, though he's up for the task .
Star studded defense, with new additions
As for the defense, the core four of the team, Alex Highsmith, T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Cam Heyward are all back, though Heyward is entering the final year of his deal and may entertain options outside of Pittsburgh .
But the additions of Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson, DeShon Elliott and Donte Jackson only add to a team that is paying the most in the league for their defense.
It's safe to say Pittsburgh isn't hiding how they want to play in 2024.
