The Pittsburgh Steelers have added some depth to their tight end room, signing Jaheim Bell to a one-year deal. The team made the announcement on Monday, though financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Bell, a seventh-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2024 out of Florida State, brings a blend of athleticism and potential to the Steelers' offense. As a rookie, he appeared in 15 games for the Patriots, catching two passes for 20 yards—a modest start, but one that showed he could earn snaps at the NFL level.

After being cut by New England during the 2025 preseason, Bell found his way to the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad in October. However, the Eagles waived him just a week later. He then spent a brief stint on the Steelers' practice squad before signing a futures contract with Philadelphia after the season.

Now, Bell returns to Pittsburgh with a fresh opportunity to compete for a roster spot. For a team that values versatility at the tight end position, Bell's college production at Florida State—where he showcased his ability as both a receiver and a blocker—makes him an intriguing project. Steelers fans will be watching closely to see if he can turn that potential into consistent production on the field.
