The Pittsburgh Steelers hit the ground running in free agency,

signing players to shore up key spots on their roster.

What they held off on many of their own free agents still lingering on the market.

Fans and analysts are hoping for three in particular to come back and stabilize the team heading into next season.

At quarterback, there's talk of bringing back Aaron Rogers, even if it's a long shot.

The Steelers skipped big moves there during free agency and the trade options dried up fast.

Without him, they'd head into workouts relying on Mason Rudolph and Will Howard,

maybe adding a mid-round draft pick.

Safety, Kyle Dugger stands out after the Steelers traded for him on October 30th.

He jumped straight into the starting lineup and played every one of the team's final nine games,

snagging two interceptions along the way.

It's puzzling they grabbed Arnell Savage right away, instead of locking Dugger down.

Center Ryan McCollum offers reliable depth on the offensive line.

He showed promise in limited snaps last year, and with experienced lineman always in demand,

he'd be a smart, low-risk return, is bigger upgrades fall.

Through, as the market keeps moving, these holdouts could still swing back to Pittsburgh

and round out a stronger squad for the long haul.
