Sources: Steelers signing veteran linebacker Kwon Alexander

LATROBE, Pa. -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing inside linebacker Kwon Alexander, pending a physical, sources told ESPN on Saturday.

Alexander, who turns 29 next week, took a visit to the Steelers in May, but he remained a free agent as teams reported to training camp this week.

He spent the 2022 season with the New York Jets, starting 12 games. He had 69 tackles, six tackles for loss, one forced fumble and a half-sack. A fourth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2015, Alexander has 11 career forced fumbles, eight interceptions and 12.
