Steelers Sign Former First-Round LB
The Pittsburgh Steelers are adding a former first-round pick to their linebacker corps.
Per an official announcement from the Steelers, they've added Jamin Davis to their roster on a one-year deal.
Davis, alongside fellow signee Robert Tonyan, worked out during Pittsburgh's mandatory minicamp and could now fight for a roster spot throughout the rest of the summer.
The 27-year-old was selected with the No. 19 overall pick by the Washington Commanders in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Kentucky product was a starter at inside linebacker for Washington over the first three years of his career. Over that stretch, Davis recorded 269 tackles, 7.0 sacks and two forced fumbles in 45 games.
The Commanders did not pick up his fifth-year option, however, and he appeared in just five contests for the team in 2024 while moving to EDGE rusher.
Davis finished that season with the Minnesota Vikings after getting cut by Washington before spending the 2025 campaign with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he appeared in two games and played under new Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham.
Making the 53-man roster won't be easy, but Davis does have the pedigree of a first-rounder and has appeared in 56 games during his career.
