The Pittsburgh Steelers have some holes on their roster, even after the 2021 NFL Draft, and one of those areas which could be deemed as a hole would be the secondary. Most would point to the cornerback position as the biggest need, considering the team will be without Mike Hilton and Steven Nelson this season, but the Steelers have reportedly gone out and added a safety to their depth chart.
This report from Goal Line Football states the Steelers have signed safety Arthur Maulet.

We could dance around the obvious or speak honestly and earnestly about the problem. In a league that is two-thirds African American, there are currently only two Black head coaches Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami s Brian Flores with one fired in advance of this cycle, former LA Chargers coach Anthony Lynn.
Jacksonville, Tennessee, the Chargers, and Detroit went traditional routes in this cycle: the program builder [Urban Meyer], the flavor of the month who happens to be the son of a billionaire [Arthur Smith], the guy who looks like and [insert audible gasp] even knows Sean McVay [Brandon Staley], and finally, the stereotypical football guy who just might actually put a few nails into his morning cereal just to test his own toughness [Dan Campbell].
the quarterback at least not right now.
The Steelersannounced the signing of former first-round pick Dwayne Haskins to a reserve/future contract Thursday after the quarterback met with a group of Steelers coaches on a visit.

The Steelers have Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph under contract for another season, so why sign Haskins?

Adding Haskins is a low-risk move for the Steelers. Whether it s this year or next, the Steelers will need a new starting quarterback with Roethlisberger turning 39 in March. They don t have the cap space or trade capital to bring in a high-priced quarterback, either off the open market or in a trade, and with the No. 24 pick in the draft, they re well out of the Trevor Lawrence/Justin Fields sweepstakes.
