NFL Free Agency: Steelers retain 7 players with new contracts

With the Pittsburgh Steelers 2017 season officially in the books, the team begins their offseason operations by signing current players to new contracts. Many of these players were on the team’s practice squad, and were signed to reserve/future contracts, while some might get a brand-new deal from the team.

A total of 7 contracts were handed out almost 24 hours after the Steelers’ season ended at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and there could be more contracts being dished out in the coming days.

Here is a list of the players signed, and what kind of contract they received:

TE Xavier Grimble — One-year contract
LS Kameron Canaday — One-year contract

Canaday and Grimble were exclusive-rights free agents, which means the Steelers held their rights and overall control of whether they matched an offer from another team.
