The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly signed DeShon Elliott to a two-year deal, adding some talent to the safety room. The Steelers started seven different safeties in 2023 with injuries to Minkah Fitzpatrick, Keanu Neal, Elijah Riley, Trenton Thompson, and a suspension to Damontae Kazee. They had to turn to Eric Rowe, added late in the season to the practice squad, and Patrick Peterson, who typically plays corner.
Elliott was a sixth-round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2018. He played four seasons there before spending one year with the Detroit Lions and one year with the Miami Dolphins.
