Markus Golden Joins Steelers

Outside linebacker Markus Golden reached an agreement to join the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year deal. The 32-year-old spent seven seasons with the Arizona Cardinals and two seasons with the New York Giants, totaling 47 sacks in his career. Last season with Arizona, he only produced 2.5 sacks but posted 11 sacks in 2021. Ultimately, he's likely just a rotational pass-rusher at this point in his career, but he could make an impact rushing opposite T.J. White in spots if makes the 53-man roster for the 2023 season. The Steelers led the NFL in total sacks every year from 2017-2021, and with a healthy Watt, they could get back to that standing.

Cardinals Releasing Markus Golden

The Arizona Cardinals are releasing pass-rusher Markus Golden on Friday, according to a source. It comes after Golden had 11 sacks with the Cardinals in 2020. However, he fell back to Earth last season, finishing with only 2.5 sacks, 48 tackles (22 solo), seven tackles for loss and 20 QB hits in 17 games (14 starts) in the desert. The 31-year-old former second-round pick by the Cardinals in 2015 has three seasons of double-digit sacks in his career, but outside of those years he's done very little. Teams that consider him on the open market this offseason will be hoping he can go off again in the sack department.
