On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced they had signed outside linebacker John Simon to a reserve/futures contract. This was the second-biggest piece of Steelers news of the day.
The Steelers added Simon late in the 2021 season to bolster depth at outside linebacker. Simon appeared in one game, a blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Simon played his college ball at Ohio State and was originally a fourth-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2013. Simon has 21 career sacks, and a season-high of five back in 2015 when he was with the Houston Texans and started eight games.
