Report: Steelers Re-Signing CB Ahkello Witherspoon

The Pittsburgh Steelers are keeping their starting cornerback.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are re-signing cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, according to NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala. 

The Steelers traded a fifth-round pick in 2023 for Witherspoon last offseason. After being inactive for the beginning of the season, he played in nine games, including three starts, and recorded three interceptions and nine pass deflections.

I’m told the #Steelers should be resigning CB Akhello Witherspoon soon. S Terrell Edmunds is rightly testing the market. We know CB Cam Sutton can play slot. So you prob need an outside CB, another S (to start w/ Minkah), an ILB (to start w/ Bush). Rank importance, Steelers fans.

Witherspoon returns with strong expectations to start across from Cameron Sutton. The Steelers also re-signed nickelback Arthur Maulet. 

Now, they'll search for a safety with Terrell Edmunds hitting free agency.

All Steelers will continue to provide details to contracts as they are released.
