The Steelers have invested heavily in their offensive line lately, but not this year\u2014assuming they are done addressing it. While they may not have a big move up their sleeves, Mike DeFabo thinks they can address one area. Calvin Anderson is poised to assume the swing tackle role, but Pittsburgh may continue shopping.<\/p>\n
\u201cI could definitely see the Steelers looking for a more experienced swing tackle, especially considering [Broderick] Jones\u2019 up-and-down play during his first two seasons and [Troy] Fautanu\u2019s injury history\u201d, DeFabo wrote recently<\/a>. \u201cAn addition like that could bump Calvin Anderson out of the picture. If the Steelers can find a more established guard, [Max] Scharping\u2019s spot could also be in jeopardy\u201d.<\/p>\n Earlier this offseason, the Steelers re-signed Anderson to a two-year contract worth $4 million. That\u2019s a modest salary, and certainly moveable if it comes down to that. While Anderson is a veteran, with 908 NFL snaps to his name, he isn\u2019t a starter in waiting. The Steelers could have other internal options at swing tackle, though.<\/p>\n Last year, Pittsburgh drafted Troy Fautanu in the first round, leading to an interesting development. Starting him in Week 2, the Steelers planned to make Jones the swing tackle<\/a>. An injury forced them to push Calvin Anderson into that role.<\/p>\n Now he is back, but as I mentioned, the Steelers have other potential in-house candidates. Spencer Anderson, who can play all five positions, is one possibility. He focused on guard last year, but he has played tackle as well. Then there is Dylan Cook, who once seemed like a potential diamond in the rough<\/a>.<\/p>\n If the Steelers do want to explore a more high-profile swing tackle option, there is Jedrick Wills. According to recent reports, though, he may be planning to sit out the year<\/a> to recover from a knee injury. There are always UFL players to consider\u2014even Zach Banner<\/a>. Nicholas Petit-Frere is another name we have previously examined<\/a> here.<\/p>\n
