Steelers Reportedly Add Veteran Safety Rayshawn Jenkins

If confirmed, a one-year deal would supply experience and special-teams skill to a safety room with limited depth and injuries.

Overview

  • Multiple reports, including a social post from former teammate Jahleel Addae and NFL insider Jordan Schultz, say Jenkins has agreed to a one-year contract but the Steelers have not issued an official announcement.
  • Jenkins visited the Steelers for a workout and tryout during training camp as Pittsburgh evaluated veteran options to shore up the safety group.
  • The 10-year veteran played all 17 games for the Cleveland Browns in 2025, recording 45 tackles, one interception, and significant snaps on both defense and special teams.
  • Pittsburgh entered camp with thin depth behind starters DeShon Elliott and Jaquan Brisker, and injuries and position shifts left the team seeking a reliable, versatile safety option.
  • If signed, Jenkins would likely be a short-term veteran add focused on special teams and rotational defensive duty; the key next developments to watch are an official team release and how the club redistributes snaps among safeties.
