The Pittsburgh Steelers won't start training camp for another few months but they're already working on stocking the roster with some depth at linebacker.
The Steelers claimed former Baltimore Raven Jeremiah Moon a month ago but the move was deferred until after the Super Bowl. He was technically a free agent but the Steelers held exclusive rights to him. That gave Moon the choice of sitting out the 2024 season or signing a one-year deal worth $915,000 with Pittsbugh. Moon chose the latter, according to reports from Steelers Now and Steelers Depot.
Moon arrived in Baltimore as an undrafted free agent in 2022 following an injury-hampered career at Florida. He appeared in a handful of preseason games before being assigned to the practice squad.
After spending all of his rookie season on the practice squad, Moon made his NFL debut in 2023. He played in eight games and started one against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. He totaled 12 tackles, one for a loss and two fumbled recoveries.
Moon will join the Steelers for training camp and try to make the team during the summer.
