The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to re-sign LB Cole Holcomb to a two-year, $5 million deal, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov.
Originally signed by the Steelers ahead of the 2023 season, Holcomb began his Steelers career as a starting off-ball linebacker. A serious knee injury suffered in Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans caused him to miss the entire 2024 campaign, and he returned last season in a reserve role, making 37 tackles in 14 games with three starts.
With Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson and Malik Harrison still in the fold, Holcomb’s role is a little bit unclear. Harrison is a potential cut candidate though, and Holcomb contributed on special teams, playing 161 snaps last season. It’s a relatively cheap contract for Holcomb if the reported numbers are true, and he can be a veteran leader.
