The Pittsburgh Steelers are rolling the dice with Mitchell Trubisky in 2022, and now they're looking to add some key pieces in order to protect him in the pocket. The Steelers moved Tuesday to bolster the offensive line, signing veteran offensive guard James Daniels, according to Jeremy Fowler.

For insight on Mitchell Trubisky signing with the Steelers and the other early NFL free agent movement, listen below:

The deal will run for three seasons, keeping Daniels in Pittsburgh through the 2024 season, and will see him pocket $26.5 million.

Daniels spent the past four seasons as a starter in the trenches for the Bears, so he's familiar with playing alongside Trubisky. He'll represent a significant improvement at the guard position for the Steelers, who were plagued by injury last year and ultimately trotted out one of the league's worst offensive lines.

Daniels is also versatile up front, not limited to playing the guard, he has the ability to play multiple positions up front. Considering the Steelers were seemingly always down a man or two on the offensive line last year, having someone with flexibility like that is a huge boost.

Trubisky will feel a lot more confident heading into his first year in Pittsburgh knowing he'll have an esteemed pass protector like Daniels up front. The Steelers had a brief stay in the NFL Playoffs last year and will look to build upon that in 2022 with Trubisky under center. There are likely a few more moves yet to come from the Steelers, but landing Daniels was a great step in the right direction for the franchise entering a new era without Ben Roethlisberger.
