PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed veteran safety Damontae Kazee to a two-year deal on Tuesday. The club also brought back tight end Zach Gentry on a one-year contract.
Kazee played well for the Steelers in 2022 after missing the first half of the season because of a wrist injury. Kazee finished with 20 tackles and picked off two passes in nine games with Pittsburgh.
