Steelers re-sign NT Breiden Fehoko

Breiden Fehoko returns after spending 2023 on the practice squad.

According to the NFL transaction report, the Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed nose tackle Breiden Fehoko. Fehoko was signed at the start of the 2023 season from the Los Angeles Chargers and spent all of the 2023 NFL season on the Steelers practice squad.

With Montravius Adams and Armon Watts both about to hit free agency, signing Fehoko makes a lot of sense. Despite his lack of usage last year, Fehoko is a strong run stuffer who showed that in the preseason and could end up making the roster as a rotational run defender.

The Steelers have been very busy ahead of the start of free agency. In addition to re-signing Fehoko, the Steelers also released veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson and wide receiver Allen Robinson to free up $17 million in cap space they can use to sign free agents starting next week.
