The Pittsburgh Steelers are re-signing cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. to a one-year, $4 million contract, ESPN reported Monday.

Samuel, 26, returned from spinal fusion surgery last April to play in six games (three starts) for the Steelers down the stretch in 2025. He finished with 10 tackles and one interception.

A second-round draft pick by the Chargers in 2021, Samuel has recorded seven interceptions, 38 passes defensed, one fumble recovery and 186 tackles in 56 games (50 starts) with Los Angeles (2021-24) and Pittsburgh.
