The Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed another one of their unrestricted free agents and this time it is cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, per a Thursday report.
According to Josina Anderson of ESPN, Witherspoon is expected to sign as two-year contract with the Steelers.
The Steelers acquired Witherspoon via a trade with the Seattle Seahawks just prior to the start of the 2021 regular season and he really didn’t start seeing the field until the second half of the schedule. In fact, Witherspoon was inactive for eight of the team’s first nine games.
A foot injury suffered by Steelers cornerback Joe Haden forced Witherspoon into action and he went on to play in the final eight regular season games and the lone playoff game.
