It didn’t take the Steelers long to find a replacement for David DeCastro.

Just hours after releasing DeCastro with a non-football injury designation, the Steelers signed Trai Turner. Turner’s agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed the move.

Turner visited the Steelers last week.

The 27-year-old Turner went to five straight Pro Bowls from 2015 to 2019 with the Panthers before he was traded to the Chargers last year. Turner was a starter when healthy but missed seven games because of injuries in 2020.

DeCastro started 13 games last year, and Turner will be expected to move into the starting lineup right away in Pittsburgh.

When Decastro was released that was what I was thinking that they would do is sign Turner

 

Decastro apparently needs another ankle surgery and is c9nsidering retirment per steelers depot

 

He really was part of a great o line in that 2014 to 2017 stretch. If they would've had a great defense, who knows.

 

He’s going to the hof. Stinks he had to give it up but what else could he do?
