It wasn't long after the start of free agency that word came out that the Pittsburgh Steelers planned to sign safety Darnell Savage Jr. Then things went very quiet and rumors started to surface that there were issues with Savage being able to pass his physical and this was holding up the transaction. Now, according to Savage's agent, via NFL reporter Aaron Wilson, Savage still does intend to sign with Pittsburgh and looks forward to playing with the Steelers.
2026 marks Savage's eighth season in the NFL. He spent the first five years with the Green Bay Packers, where he played under Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy. Since leaving Green Bay. Savage bounced between the Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills and Washington Commanders. Savage appeared in 12 games in 2025 and had one start.
The Steelers' interest in Savage, along with the signing of Jaquan Brisker, could be a sign that the Steelers have no intention of re-signing Kyle Dugger. While we are good with Brisker coming on, replacing Dugger after how well be played last year with Savage feels like a serious downgrade.
