Mark Madden’s Hot Take: Injury-prone edge rusher Bud Dupree not the answer for Steelers
The Steelers will meet with Bud Dupree with an eye toward bringing the edge rusher back for a second stint with the team. He played with the Steelers from 2015-20. Bad idea. Having a quality third edge rusher is critical given that T.J. Watt, 28, is and will very likely...
