The Steelers also signed CB Jaylon Guilbeau and RB Alex Tecza while placing DB Israel Mukuamu on injured reserve.
Ramsey was placed on the PUP list to start camp after suffering a knee injury in mandatory minicamp. The expectation had been Ramsey would be ready for Week 1.
Ramsey, 31, is a former first-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2016. He signed a four-year, $23.35 million contract and was set to make a base salary of $3.63 million in 2019.
The Jaguars picked up Ramsey’s fifth-year option that cost them around $13 million for the 2020 season before trading him to the Rams for two first-round picks and a fourth-round selection.
He signed a five-year, $105 million extension before the start of the 2020 season, before he was traded to the Dolphins, later signing a three-year, $72.3 million deal with the team in 2024.
Ramsey was traded to Pittsburgh ahead of the 2025 season in a deal that included TE Jonnu Smith and S Minkah Fitzpatrick.
In 2025, Ramsey appeared in and started all 17 games for the Steelers and recorded 88 tackles, one interception, three sack, and defended eight passes.
