Mike Tomlin was very frank about how he regards outside linebacker Bud Dupree, an impending free agent, calling him a "priority."


That's all well and good, but the Steelers also have some other players heading to unrestricted free agency in mid-March, as well, including nose tackle Javon Hargrave and guard-center B.J. Finney.



According to Spotrac.com, Dupree's estimated value on a contract will be $16.6 million per year. Hargrave's value is similar at $14.7 million per year. And in a league starved for competent offensive linemen, Finney would get an offer of at least $5 to $6-million per year.
