Steelers signing former Buccaneers CB
Pittsburgh adds a veteran defensive back.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to add veteran cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting to their roster, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The move comes after the team picked up the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' practice squad player. Murphy-Bunting, a second-round pick in 2019, has played in 82 NFL games and has 11 career interceptions. He most recently started 15 games with Arizona in 2024, recording 52 tackles and three interceptions.
Standing at 6'0" and weighing 195 pounds, Murphy-Bunting ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash in college. After spending most of 2025 on injured reserve, he signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad in 2026. The Steelers made the acquisition to bolster their cornerback depth following their recent trade for Joey Porter Jr.
