BREAKING NEWS: Among the 5 new players sign by steelers 2 have been suspended.
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have inked five more players to reserve/future deals as they look to set their roster for next season. This comes in addition to the 17 players the team initially signed this offseason.
The team announced they had signed outside linebacker David Perales, linebacker Tyler Murray, cornerback Josiah Scott, defensive back Kalon Barnes and defensive back Thomas Graham.
Perales, Murray, Scott and Barnes all spent time on the Steelers practice squad during different parts of the season. Scott was eventually signed by the Philadephia Eagles, where he played four games. He previously spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons with Philadelphia, playing in 29 games, including four starts.
Perales spent last summer with the Steelers before signing to their initial practice squad. He was waived at times throughout the year, but ended up back in Pittsburgh in time for their playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.
Murray spent a short time on the Steelers practice squad in November. He played college football at Memphis, where he recorded 67 tackles, six tackles for a loss, two interceptions, three quarterback hurries and two passes defended in 2022 while starting 13 games.
Graham was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the sixth-round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He played four games for the Bears, recording 13 tackles and four passes defended.
Barnes signed to the Steelers practice squad just ahead of Week 2 and spent a short time in Pittsburgh this season. He was a seventh-round pick by the Carolina Panthers in 2022 NFL Draft after finishing his time at Baylor with three interceptions, 14 passes defensed, two and a half tackles for a loss and a forced fumble.
