08:03 AM ET 05.11 | The lockout has given teams more than enough time to ponder their needs via free agency. The Steelers can concentrate their efforts toward re-signing unrestricted free-agent cornerback Ike Taylor when the lockout is lifted. Or, in the event that Taylor signs with another team, finding Taylor's replacement. ... Re-signing Taylor is the Steelers' top priority; however, the Steelers are unlikely to bid on Nnamdi Asomugha, who has a large price tag, if they are unable to retain Taylor. Other Steelers players who are unrestricted free agents include running back Mewelde Moore, guard Trai Essex, defensive end Nick Eason, nose tackle Chris Hoke and linebacker Keyaron Fox. The Steelers need to sign a kicker, after not retaining Shaun Suisham. Potential replacements include unrestricted free agents David Akers, Adam Vinatieri and Ryan Longwell.

This would be a smart move. A good kicker gives them another 2-3 wins with all the close games they have.

No kicker wants to kick on that field. Toughest in the NFL. It will take big cash to get a good one to go there. That is why the Steelers tagged their PK two years ago.

The only difference the lockout makes is that players can't actually sign the contracts they're negotiating improperly during the lockout. It's monkey business as usual.
