Following the NFL Draft, Pittsburgh is busy making moves in the veteran market again.
Reports of a big move being imminent have been shortsighted by the invite of Anthony Averett to rookie minicamp, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media:
Adding Another Former Raven?
Averett most recently played for the Las Vegas Raiders before spending time on the Lions practice squad, but the 29-year-old vet is most noted for his four-year career in Baltimore, where he started 21 games and recorded three interceptions, 22 pass breakups and over 100 tackles.
Averett also has experience playing slot corner or nickelback, a position the Steelers still haven't addressed even though the acquisition phase of the offseason is largely over at this point.
With a tryout on the way, Averett has a long road ahead of him before he makes the team in September, but this is a start.
