Overview
- The signing was reported Tuesday by ESPN insider Adam Schefter and marks Windmon’s third separate stint with the Steelers organization.
- Windmon entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of UNLV and Michigan State and has moved between practice squads and active rosters since 2024.
- He appeared in nine NFL games with the Carolina Panthers, totaling 22 combined tackles and 1.5 sacks across the 2024–25 seasons.
- After being waived by Carolina in early May Windmon joined the UFL’s Columbus Aviators where he posted multiple sacks and a forced fumble in a short spring stint.
- The low-cost move is a common roster strategy to build depth and competition and it gives Windmon a chance to earn a roster spot by proving his value on defense and special teams during camp.
