I couldn’t believe what I just read.
When BTSC deputy editor Michael Beck shared the breaking news with our staff that Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network was reporting Tyson Alualu was actually returning to the Steelers, I began searching frantically to check the source. After all, there are plenty of troll Twitter accounts who like to trick people into believing something crazy. And this seemed crazy.
But it was legit.
10 days after the start of the 2021 NFL league year, Alualu decided not to sign his two-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but instead he’s coming back to Pittsburgh on a two-year deal.
