James Conner ‘unlikely’ to be re-signed per Steelers’ beat reporter

Per Steelers’ ESPN beat reporter Brooke Pryor, Pittsburgh is “unlikely” to re-sign RB James Conner and will likely be in the market for a running back come draft day.

Fantasy Impact: The Steelers will head into the 2021 season with Benny Snell Jr., Anthony McFarland Jr., and Jaylen Samuels in the running back room. None of these guys have shown an ability to consistently handle a full workload in Conner’s absence, so it’s likely the Steelers look to add a running back during the Draft. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Conner, but it’s unlikely that future lies in Pittsburgh.
