Cast your verdict:
A low-risk reserve/futures flier on a journeyman defensive lineman with minimal NFL impact. Headlines confirm prior stints with the Rams and Cardinals, suggesting he's a known quantity on the waiver wire. The reserve/futures contract designation is the key signal — this is a camp body, not a roster lock. Fans familiar with Pittsburgh's defensive depth won't be excited, but futures signings rarely generate buzz. Goodlow faces a steep climb to make the 53-man roster in 2025.
This signing grades out as a bad deal for the Pittsburgh Steelers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Anthony's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DEs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DE market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Anthony is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
