What happened: The Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed linebacker Jacoby Windmon, according to a report from Adam Schefter. Windmon previously spent parts of the 2024 and 2025 seasons with Pittsburgh. The deal was reported as completed today.

Why it matters: The move adds known depth and special-teams insurance to the Steelers' linebacker room heading into the 2026 season. Re-signing a player already familiar with the scheme limits the learning curve and gives Pittsburgh a low-risk floor at the position. It is a roster-edge transaction rather than a headline addition.

What to watch: Watch for how Windmon factors into Pittsburgh's linebacker depth chart and special-teams plans through training camp. Contract terms for the re-signing have not been reported.
