With Damontae Kazee’s contract expiring, the Pittsburgh Steelers were in need of a veteran safety to protect against injury as well as help in subpackage football. They went out and signed former Kansas City Chief and Cleveland Brown S Juan Thornhill.
Thornhill won two Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs early on in his career and was a fairly pricey free-agent signing for the Browns at three years, $21 million prior to the 2023 season.
After missing only one game through the first four seasons of his career, Thornhill missed 12 combined games over the past two years with the Browns.
