With the Bronco's and other NFL powerhouses improving their already talented rosters through Free Agent acquisitions, the Steelers are falling behind in an Arms race.


[COLOR=#292929][FONT=Mercury SSm A]If I could characterize the events of the 2014 Free Agency thus far, I would characterize it as an Arms race between NFL Superpowers.
From the get go, it appears that the NFL's best teams have only gotten better. Of course championships are never won on paper, but then again it has never hurt to look like a winner.
The Denver Broncos, fresh off a trip to the Superbowl, have thrown their chequebook wide open. The combined signings of Aquib Talib, Demarcus Ware and T J Ward amount to $60 million in guaranteed money, and $110 million over 13 years.
In the space of three days, the AFC's best team added three Pro Bowl level talents at positions where it was needed most. The Broncos secondary was routinely picked on last season, so it as a good thing they have added one of the best CB's in the NFL as well as one of the best run-stopping safeties in the game. In addition, they have combined the pass rushing abilities of Demarcus Ware with a soon-to-be healthy Von Miller, which must surely be considered illegal.
