In a blow to the Pittsburgh Steelers' plans, star cornerback Jaylon Johnson has decided to re-sign with the Chicago Bears, leaving the Steelers to search for alternatives to fill the void in their secondary. Johnson agreed to a lucrative four-year contract worth $76 million, with a whopping $54.4 million in guaranteed money.

Reports suggested that Johnson was a potential target for the Steelers in free agency, making the news all the more disappointing for Pittsburgh fans. However, Steelers general manager Omar Kahn's recent remarks about the team's quarterback situation have left some speculating about his true intentions. His comments at the NFL Scouting Combine hinted at the Steelers being content with their current lineup, but many wonder if there is more to the story.

Meanwhile, former Steelers guard Kevin Dotson has found tremendous success in Los Angeles. Dotson, who was traded from Pittsburgh prior to the start of last season, has signed a three-year deal worth a staggering $48 million with the Los Angeles Rams. After a standout season with the Rams, Dotson earned himself a starting position and established himself as one of the league's top guards. This impressive performance led to a significant payday with his new contract.

Dotson's success in LA serves as a reminder of the talent that the Steelers have lost. Known for their prowess in developing offensive linemen, the Steelers now face the task of finding a suitable replacement for Dotson and strengthening their offensive line.

As free agency continues, the Steelers will need to regroup and reassess their options. Losing out on Johnson is undoubtedly a setback, but the team will need to explore other avenues to address their needs in the secondary. It remains to be seen what moves the Steelers will make to bolster their roster and ensure a competitive season ahead.
