The Steelers re-signed offensive tackle Jack Driscoll to a one-year contract on Wednesday, the team announced.
Driscoll was signed to the practice squad in 2025 and bounced between the active roster and the practice squad. He did not play a down last season.
The Eagles drafted Driscoll in the fourth round in 2020.
He spent five seasons with the Eagles, appearing in 67 games, starting 18.
Driscoll was with the Dolphins during the 2024 offseason and training camp before rejoining the Eagles.
He has seen action at guard and tackle.
With Malik Willis, Tua Tagovailoa, Geno Smith, and Daniel Jones off the board for 2026, the next available (inevitably) quarterback to watch is Kyler Murray.
The Vikings have been strongly linked to Murray, who has $36.8 million in full guarantees from the Cardinals in 2026. He can take a one-year deal for the minimum based on his years of service ($1.3 million) and stick the Cardinals for the $35.5 million balance.
It becomes a great deal for the cap-strapped Vikings, who could have Murray and J.J. McCarthy under contract for the coming year at a total cap charge of less than $7.3 million.
With the Dolphins, Falcons, Jets, and Colts now out of the mix for a potential Kyler courtship, Murray’s options are limited. The Steelers are waiting for Aaron Rodgers. Who else needs a potential starter for 2026? The only team that could conceivably enter the conversation is the analytics-obsessed Browns, who may not be able to resist the opportunity to acquire the “asset” of a former No. 1 overall pick for the minimum.
Last year, as the trade deadline approached and we poked around the possibility of a Murray deadline deal, we learned two things: (1) there were too many moving parts to make a trade happen; and (2) Murray’s preferred destinations were the Raiders (due to the presence of Chip Kelly) and the Vikings (due to the presence of Kevin O’Connell).
Kelly is long gone from Las Vegas. That leaves one team.
The bettors seized on it, even before the other seats were filled. Minnesota opened as a -110 favorite to be Murray’s next team. The odds moved to -295, before the bet went off the board.
So, yes, Murray to Minnesota makes the most sense. And he’ll likely be the next domino to fall in the annual offseason quarterback carousel.
Veteran safety Darnell Savage plans to be a Steeler in 2026.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Savage has agreed to a one-year deal with the AFC North team.
Savage opened the 2025 season with the Jaguars, but was released after appearing in two games with the team. He signed with the Commanders and appeared in eight games before being released again in December. Savage landed with the Bills and saw action for them in two regular season games as well as one playoff contest.
Savage had 21 tackles and a forced fumble across the three stops. The 2019 Packers first-round pick has 371 tackles, 10 interceptions, a sack, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries for his career.
Cam Heyward won’t be holding out, or holding in, in 2026.
The veteran Steelers defensive lineman has signed a one-year extension, per multiple reports.
The total two-year deal is worth $32.25 million. Of the amount, $16.25 million is fully guarantee.
Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the $18 million new-money APY makes it the largest contract given to an NFL defensive players who at the age of 36 or older.
A first-round pick in 2011, Heyward is a seven-time Pro Bowler, a four-time first-team All-Pro, a two-time second-team All-Pro, and the 2023 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year. Heyward turns 37 in May.
Punter Cameron Johnston will have a second stint with the Steelers.
Johnston, who previously played for the Steelers in 2024, signed a one-year contract with the team today.
The last time Johnston was a Steeler, it didn’t go well: He signed a three-year contract in 2024 but suffered a season-ending injury in Week One. The Steelers cut him in 2025 and he ended up playing three games for the Bills and one for the Giants last season.
An Australian who moved to the United States to punt at Ohio State, Johnston originally entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie with the Eagles in 2017. He spent four years with the Eagles and three with the Texans before signing with the Steelers the first time.
