A Buffalo Bills special teams mainstay has found a new, though very familiar home. Linebacker Tyler Matakevich signed a one-year contract to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team and head coach who originally selected him in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Some might see this as a move by the Steelers to gain intel, though hardly necessary for a mid-summer joint practice or preseason game. Instead, it may have more to do with a head coach looking to gain an advantage amid the revamped kickoff rules.
There are likely to be a lot of special teams changes in the NFL in 2024.
