The Pittsburgh Steelers are considering upgrades to their safety position. NFL writer Jacob Punturi suggested targeting Taylor Rapp, a Super Bowl champion and free agent, if a trade for Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker does not materialize. Rapp, released by the Buffalo Bills in March 2026, has experience from his time with the Los Angeles Rams and could provide valuable depth. If signed, Rapp would potentially compete for playing time with current players Jaquan Brisker and DeShon Elliott, significantly enhancing the Steelers' secondary.
