After a successful tryout at the team’s rookie minicamp, the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed veteran CB Anthony Averett. Pro Football Talk reported the news first.
Averett is an experienced cornerback who spent time with both the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions last season, although he did not see the field at all in 2023. He played for the Baltimore Ravens from 2018-2021 and spent 2022 with the Las Vegas Raiders. His time with the Ravens should make him very familiar with the AFC North brand of football and now he’ll play on the other side of the rivalry.
