Patriots veteran DT finds new home on AFC team

New England Patriots defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale has signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per an announcement from Team IFA president Blake Baratz.

Ekuale proved to be a reliable depth piece for the Patriots' defense, particularly with Christian Barmore sidelined for most of the season.

He started in 16 games for the team, recording 52 tackles and a sack on the year. Before last season, Ekuale served as a solid rotational piece along the defensive front for the Patriots. He could serve in a similar role for a talented Steelers defense in 2025.

As for the Patriots, their defensive line has undergone a serious makeover in the offseason.
