Steelers sign S Jordan Dangerfield to contract

The Pittsburgh Steelers sign safety Jordan Dangerfield to a one-year contract.

The Steelers didn’t tender safety Jordan Dangerfield as a restricted free agent; instead, they signed him to a one-year deal on Friday.

The safety was one of four RFAs on the roster, but the Steelers declined Wednesday to offer him the lowest tender amount of $2.1 million. After spending less than two days on the free-agent market, Dangerfield came to terms on a lesser deal.

Dangerfield, who has appeared in 46 games with three starts in four seasons, has been a valuable special teams player. He had his best season in 2019 when he finished second on the team with 12 ST tackles. He also forced a fumble.

The signing provides depth at the safety position that the Steelers lacked when Sean Davis signed with the Washington Redskins.

 

Steelers opt not to tender RFA Jordan Dangerfield

Safey Jordan Dangerfield was not offered a RFA tender by the Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made second-round tenders to two of their restricted free agents. The Steelers wanted to be sure they kept offensive lineman Matt Feiler and cornerback Mike Hilton in the fold. But one RFA who the Steeler didn’t offer to was Jordan Dangerfield, who will now become a free agent.

Choosing not to bring back Dangerfield leaves the Steelers very thin at safety. The primary backup to Terrell Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatrick will be Marcus Allen and John Battle is the No. 4.

Dangerfield had been with the Steelers since 2014 and has three career starts. Dangerfield’s primary contributions during his career have been on special teams.
