The Pittsburgh Steelers are open to a reunion with former first round pick and OLB Bud Dupree. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Dupree “has been talking” with the Steelers along with one of his other former teams, the Atlanta Falcons. Schefter also notes Dupree just wrapped up a visit with the Los Angeles Chargers.
The 22nd overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft, Dupree spent six years in Pittsburgh. Injuries slowed the start of his career but he broke out in 2019, registering 11.5 sacks. He was having a strong 2020 season before tearing his ACL late in the year, ending the year with eight sacks.
