The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially re-signed linebacker Jacoby Windmon, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Windmon returns to the franchise after spending portions of both the 2024 and 2025 seasons in Pittsburgh, providing the team with a familiar face in the defensive room.
Windmon, a former standout at Michigan State and UNLV, originally entered the league as an undrafted free agent. He has spent time on both the Steelers' active roster and practice squad during his previous tenures, contributing to the defensive rotation and appearing on special teams units. His familiarity with the organization's defensive system and coaching staff makes him a seamless addition to the current depth chart.
The transaction comes as the Steelers continue to manage their roster during the 2026 offseason program. While the specific terms of the contract were not immediately available, the signing ensures that the team maintains veteran depth at the linebacker position. Jacoby Windmon will look to compete for a permanent spot on the 53-man roster as the team moves toward training camp.
