| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Locked-on Steelers podcast. I'm your host, Tony Serino. This is your home for the latest Steelers news and analysis. |
| 0:06.7 | Today on the podcast, we're going to talk about the signings of John Bostic and Morgan Burnett. |
| 0:11.0 | Are they the long-term replacements for Ryan Chazier and Mike Mitchell? We'll break that down. We'll also talk about what those signings mean for the NFL draft. The Steelers have some position flexibility now that they have an inside |
| 0:20.8 | linebacker and safety. So what does that mean? What positions could they end up taking? But let's |
| 0:25.6 | start today by talking about the Steelers free agents that they did bring back, their own free agents. |
| 0:30.9 | We'll start, of course, with Levi-on-Bell. Right. LeVion Bell signs the franchise tag, or was given a franchise tag, has not signed it yet. |
| 0:39.1 | You know, John did a great job on this podcast of breaking down what that means. |
| 0:42.2 | So we'll talk about the Levi-on-Bel contract situation and all of that as we get closer to the July |
| 0:47.4 | deadline, July 16th, I believe it is, when the Steelers and Lavion either have to come to a long-term |

| 0:59.8 | and that's a good thing. Mike Hilton was an exclusive rights-free agent, meaning that the |
| 1:04.6 | Steelers could pretty much sign him to a minimum contract. They did that. They will bring him |
| 1:08.8 | back for another year. He, he was really the surprise of |
| 1:11.7 | 2017. He, he filled the nickel roll excellently. And as John said yesterday, he might just be the |
| 1:17.4 | best player in the secondary. Certainly he was last year. And really, when you think about a |
| 1:22.2 | Steeler secondary that has had such a problem bringing in and developing young talent. |
| 1:33.7 | Mike Hilton was such a surprise for everyone, and I'm hoping he can play as well as he did in 2017 in 2018. |
| 1:36.9 | Xavier Grimble, another exclusive rights-free agent that the Steelers are going to bring |
| 1:40.1 | back for another year. |
| 1:41.4 | You know, he really fought for that roster spot in 2017. |
| 1:44.1 | Wasn't used as much in 2017 as he was in 2016. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact |
