Overview
- The Steelers announced the one-year signing Monday, adding the 24-year-old tight end to their offseason roster.
- Bell was a 2024 seventh-round pick by the Patriots and logged 15 games with 2 catches for 20 yards as a rookie.
- He spent 2025 on practice squads with the Eagles and briefly the Steelers, then signed a futures contract in January before Philadelphia waived him in late April.
- The addition increases competition in a room that already includes Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Riley Nowakowski, JJ Galbreath, Lake McRee, and Chamon Metayer for OTAs and minicamp.
- Philadelphia cleared space at tight end after drafting Eli Stowers in the second round and keeping Dallas Goedert on a one-year deal for 2026.
