Steelers sign 24-year old TE with Patriots experience who Eagles just parted ways with

1 hour ago 3

In very unsurprising news, the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed another tight end.

At times, it seems like their favorite position on the entire roster. They can't have too deep a TE depth chart.

The new guy is Jaheim Bell, who the Steelers announced the signing of on Monday.

Bell was most recently with the Philadelphia Eagles, but they waived him last week, which sent him into the free agent pool and allowed for Bell's signing by Pittsburgh.

He entered the NFL as a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots after splitting his college career at South Carolina and Florida State.

Bell is listed at 6-foot-2 and 241 pounds and will turn 25 on June 14.

All his regular season NFL experience came in the 2024 season. He appeared in 15 games for the Pats and caught a pair of passes for 20 yards.

The Patriots kept Bell through the 2025 summer but released him late in the preseason in August.

He didn't get a new contract until October 2025, when the Eagles brought him aboard the practice squad, but he lasted just a week before being released.

The Steelers brought Bell onto the practice squad in late December, then cut him in mid-January.

The Eagles signed Bell to a futures contract soon after his Pittsburgh release, but they eventually waived him about three months after that deal.

That set Bell up to sign with Pittsburgh, where he'll hope to spend the rest of the offseason and try to make a good impression.
