Entering free agency, a potential reunion for the Pittsburgh Steelers with former seventh-round draft pick Kelvin Beachum was a possibility that was generating some buzz.
That feel-good story won’t happen though, as Beachum re-signed with the Arizona Cardinals Monday morning, keeping him off the open market.
According to the Cardinals’ team website, Beachum signed a one-year deal with the Cardinals, staying in the desert for a sixth season. Last season with Arizona, Beachum played in 16 games with 12 starts.
Beachum previously stated in January that he was planning on playing a 14th season in the NFL with him set to be a free agent, which got the wheels turning on a potential reunion with the Steelers to serve as a veteran presence for a young offensive line, potentially helping the likes of Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu settle in at the tackle position in the NFL.
