Steelers Bring Back Former Browns DB
For the second time in less than a month, the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed defensive back Nate Meadors.
Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley reported the team signed Meadors to a reserve/future contract on February 2. With the contract agreement, Meadors will participate in offseason workouts with the Steelers.
Pittsburgh first signed the veteran defensive back to its practice squad on December 27. The team released Meadors after the playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills on January 9.
Meadors joins the Steelers again after spending two weeks with the Cleveland Browns during 2023 training camp.
Meadors has played in just three NFL regular season games, but he still has quite a bit of experience. The 2024 season will be his sixth NFL campaign since being an undrafted free agent in 2019.
The Minnesota Vikings signed Meadors following the 2019 NFL draft. While the team signed and released him multiple times, he spent the 2019 and 2020 seasons with the Vikings.
In 2019, he appeared in two games, playing 11 defensive snaps and 23 snaps on special teams. Then in 2020, he lined up for 14 special teams snaps in one contest.
Meadors finished the 2020 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In 2021, he spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles in training camp. Other than the Steelers and Browns, he’s also signed with the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans since then.
