A sensible depth re-signing that keeps a familiar face in Pittsburgh's offensive line room. Five headlines covered the move, framing it as a veteran reunion with utility value. The key signal is McCollum's versatility — he can play multiple spots along the interior line. Fans see this as low-risk insurance, not a needle-mover for the offensive line's ceiling. Expect McCollum to serve as a reliable backup and spot starter if injuries hit.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the Pittsburgh Steelers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Ryan's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL Cs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the C 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. Ryan is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
