Maurice Jones-Drew Leaves Steelers Visit Without Contract

Free agent running back Maurice Jones-Drew has concluded his visit with the Steelers today, leaving the facility again without a contract. This was expected, but you have to wonder why the two parties even carried on with a second day of meetings. The Steelers will no doubt be exploring more options to add to the lack of depth behind Le’Veon Bell.

Their own free agents, La Rod Stephens-Howling and Felix Jones are options, though, if they did go that way, I wouldn’t expect them signed in the immediate future. Neither running back is likely going to command much interest in free agency. There are other free agent running backs still on the market, so the team will probably be hosting one or more in the near future.
