Pittsburgh hosted Bentley for a workout earlier today and was impressed enough to get a deal done quickly. 

Bentley, 29, is a former fifth-round pick of the Patriots back in 2018. He played out the final year of his four-year $2.8 million contract with the Patriots and became an unrestricted free agent in 2021. 

He ended up returning to New England on a two-year deal worth $9 million. 

From there, Bentley re-signed another two-year extension with the team back in 2023.

In 2024, Bentley appeared in two games for the Patriots and recorded 12 total tackles and 0.5 sacks.
