I'm told CB Ahkello Witherspoon

is returning to the #Steelers on a 2-year deal, per league source.
Witherspoon was traded to the Steelers by the Seattle Seahawks prior to the beginning of the 2021 season. Witherspoon had signed as a free agent with Seattle from San Francisco, but quickly fell down the Seahawks’ depth chart.
Ther addition of Witherspoon means that the Steelers are likely done adding cornerbacks via free agency, and that likely also means the end of Joe Haden as a Steeler. On Tuesday the Steelers agreed to terms with cornerback Levi Wallace, who has been a starter in Buffalo for the past three years.
