Change is inevitable in the NFL as there is turnover on rosters each and every year. When the Pittsburgh Steelers first OTA of the 2013 off-season gets underway on Tuesday, they will be short 15 players from last season.
Of those 15 players, seven of them were perceived as starters with the offense losing four and the defense losing three. Those 7 players logged 6,666 total plays on either offense or defense of a possible 23,107, so that works out to be 29% of player contribution that the Steelers lost this off-season.
