Former Steelers Larry Ogunjobi, Van Jefferson agree to contracts in free agency
Two more starters for the Pittsburgh Steelers from the 2024 season have found new homes.
Defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi signed a one-year contract with the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday, two days after the Steelers released him in a salary-cap move. The contract is worth $8.3 million, with $8 million guaranteed. Ogunjobi could make $10 million with incentives.
Wide receiver Van Jefferson left in free agency when he agreed to a one-year contract with the Tennessee Titans that is worth up to $2.5 million. Jefferson spent one season with the Steelers and wasn’t signed until late March last offseason when he played for a minimum salary.
Ogunjobi and Jefferson join quarterback Justin Fields, running back Najee Harris, left tackle Dan Moore Jr., right guard James Daniels, inside linebacker Elandon Roberts and cornerback Donte Jackson as 2024 Steelers starters who have found jobs with other teams.
