Steelers Signing Former Ohio State Buckeyes Star
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran linebacker John Simon to a futures contract, the team announced Thursday afternoon.
Simon was signed off waivers by the Steelers in December after he was released by the Tennessee Titans. The former Ohio State star recorded six tackles in two games for Tennessee but did not register any stats in the one game he played for Pittsburgh.
Simon will now officially be part of the Steelers’ 90-man roster when the 2022 offseason begins.
