According to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport, the Tennessee Titans are planning to release edge rusher Bud Dupree. This is yet another top defender on the market. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, signing Dupree would be an opportunity to bring back a guy the team knows well and perhaps resurrect a promising career.
There’s no denying the Steelers need to add another pass rusher. Dupree’s best years were with the Steelers. The year before he left in free agency, Dupree had a career-high 11.5 sacks in 2019 with the Steelers and another 8.0 in 2020. Dupree could be part of a rotation with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith and all three could be very successful in getting the Steelers pass rush back on track.
