While a lot of the big-name players in free agency were scooped up within the first few days, there are still available players that could help the Steelers or other teams. Mike Tomlin recently addressed the positions that the Steelers still need to address, whether it be towards the end of free agency or during the upcoming NFL Draft.
Tomlin says Steelers need to address ILB, RB, NT/DT via free agency or the draft.

Notice he didn't list wide receiver, that could mean that he is confident that the team will be able to retain Mike Wallace, or that he is comfortable with the depth if he leaves. He also doesn't list cornerback despite losing starter William Gay to the Cardinals. He explained that the Steelers have a plan for filling Gay's spot in the lineup.
Tomlin says Lewis, Allen and C. Brown will battle for starting CB position opposite Ike Taylor.

That's Keenan Lewis, Cortez Allen and Curtis Brown, who all served in backup roles a season ago.
