Some interesting options to consider...

OG M.Jordan, Cin (young, started games)
CB R.Douglas, Hou (solid player, has started 17 games)
DT M.Wilson, Cle (very young, was good at FSU)
OC M.Skura, MIa (ex Raven, only 28 and better than JCH)

I have been a fan of Rasul Douglas since his WVU days. I always thought he would have been a solid player in the Steelers scheme. He has some length and I think he could transition into a hybrid-FS/Nickel CB for the Steelers. A few other players that I would certainly kick the tires on are:

 

Cornerbacks:

***CB Desmond Trufant - - former starter and some added insurance at CB since losing Steven Nelson

***CB Greg Stroman - - I loved this kid coming out of VA Tech. Has punt return ability and can play the slot.

CB Corey Ballentine - - an experienced corner who could fit the Nickel role. 

Safety:

Karl Joseph - - Edmunds type of safety with more natural instincts. Just hasn't seemed to be able to put it all together as a pro. Could fill some roles on the Steelers defense.

Ha Ha Clinton Dix - - Play seems to have diminished as a starter, but ould be a solid back-up and scheme player with veteran savvy and starting experience.

***Sheldrick Redwine - - Probably best known for the WC game INT last year, but a player from the U (Miami) who could be a decent back-up role player here. He plays FS and I think he is better than anyone else on the roster not named Minkah at that position. 

Inside Linebacker/Outside Linebacker/Edge/Special Teams Coverage

Noah Spence - - I liked this kid coming out of college, but hasn't seemed to go to the next level. He has some natural God-given pass rush skills. 

Shaqueem Griffin - - I liked him as a core special teamer coming out of college. He could be a decent pass coverage ILB specialist. He has some speed and is still developing as a football player. I think he has to be used as a role player only.  He is quick and fast for a ILB type in coverage in the middle of the field.

I’d like to add M.Wilson since Tuitt is having issues
