Steelers Re-Sign Cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. to One-Year Deal

The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to a one-year, $4 million contract with cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. After undergoing spinal fusion surgery during the 2025 offseason, Samuel joined Pittsburgh mid-season and appeared in six games, recording 10 tackles and one interception. A former second-round pick by the Chargers, Samuel is expected to compete for a starting role opposite Joey Porter Jr. after proving his health during his limited 2025 campaign with the Steelers.
