The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing former New England Patriots Joshuah Bledsoe as part of their 17 reserve/future signings. Bledsoe will join the team’s 90-man roster for the offseason with hopes of making the active roster. With Damontae Kazee leaving the Steelers, the team will have a need for a backup safety.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a daunting offseason ahead of them after another year went by without a playoff win. We know Mike Tomlin will be returning, but what of the roster? How can they build a team that can win games in January?

The Pittsburgh Steelers were recently eliminated from the NFL playoffs by the Baltimore Ravens. Going one-and-done in the playoffs is already a difficult way to end a season, but it likely feels worse when a division rival is responsible.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Trenton Thompson officially announced his retirement. Thompson played for the Steelers in 2023, filling in for the injured Minkah Fitzpatrick and Keanu Neal. When Damontae Kazee was suspended, Thompson stepped in to become the main safety, but suffered a neck injury that ended his season.
