Breaking News: Pittsburgh Steelers Secure Notable Free Agency Acquisition with $10 Million Safety, per BR

At the start of the season, few expected the Pittsburgh Steelers to win three games in a row, but the signing of safety DeShon Elliott in free agency has played a crucial role in their success. Elliott has been recognized as one of the top free-agent signings this season, enhancing the Steelers’ strong defense.

Previously with the Miami Dolphins, Elliott has a solid track record, including three seasons with over 80 tackles. In just two games with the Steelers, he has made 13 tackles, one interception, and allowed only one eight-yard reception. His performance has allowed star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to play more freely.

Elliott signed a two-year contract worth $6 million, with only $1.5 million guaranteed, making him a valuable addition. Coach Mike Tomlin praised his contributions, highlighting his ability to make game-changing plays. Pro Football Focus ranks him among the top five safeties in the league, as opposing quarterbacks have a passer rating of 0.0 when targeting him. Elliott’s impact is solidifying the Steelers’ reputation as a formidable team.
