Steelers Re-sign Samuel, Address Slot Corner Need

0:00On this March 9th, here's what's making headlines for the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers just resigned cornerback, Asante Samuel Jr. to a one-year contract worth $4 million. This move came hours before the NFL's legal tampering period kicked off, locking in the player for another season. They first brought Samuel on board as a free agent last November, right after he got medically cleared to play. He had been sidelined since October of 2024 with a shoulder and neck injury that raised some long-term concerns. Once back, Samuel suited up for six games, logging 222 defensive snaps and snagging one interception. He showed real promise down the stretch, proving his value in limited action. This is a smart, low-risk move for the Steelers, especially since Samuel could fill their slot corner need if he stays healthy. It gives them upside without tying up big cap space. Still, it does not solve their bigger issue at outside cornerback where they need a true starter. Get Pittsburgh to keep hunting in free agency as the market heats up.
