The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to terms on a deal with veteran safety Jabrill Peppers, NFL Network reported Tuesday.
Peppers, 29, was released by New England in a surprising move on Aug. 29. He signed a three-year, $24 million extension with the Patriots in July 2024, but injuries and a league suspension limited him to six games last season.
The Steelers add a player with 99 games of experience (85 starts) and more than 500 tackles with the Cleveland Browns (2017-18), New York Giants (2019-21) and Patriots. He has seven interceptions, seven fumble recoveries, 5.5 sacks and 35 passes defensed.
Peppers was selected by the Browns with the 25th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Michigan.
Peppers spent time on the commissioner's exempt list in 2024 after he was the subject of a domestic violence charge. He was acquitted of multiple assault charges in January.
The Steelers lost starting safety DeShon Elliott to a knee injury during Sunday's season-opening win against the New York Jets. Elliott is expected to miss multiple weeks with an MCL sprain, per multiple reports.
Pittsburgh has a Week 3 meeting with the Patriots in Foxborough, Mass.
