Steelers signing free agent EDGE Markus Golden

According to Pittsburgh Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo, the Steelers are signing veteran edge rusher Markus Golden. Golden was in Pittsburgh for a visit on Tuesday.

The addition of Golden gives the Steelers the veteran pass rusher they need to rotate in with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. Golden has 47.0 career sacks. He’s topped 10 sacks three times in his career, most recently in 2021 when he had 11.0.
