Pittsburgh, PA – The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed former New Orleans Saints guard Andrus Peat to a one-year contract, adding more veteran depth to their offensive line unit.

Andrus Peat Re-Signs with Saints on 5-Year Contract Reportedly Worth $57.5M

Peat, 31, brings flexibility to Pittsburgh’s trenches, with the ability to play both guard and tackle. The former first-round pick (13th overall in 2015) spent nine seasons with the Saints, earning a Pro Bowl nod and a reputation as a reliable, physical blocker.

In 2024, Peat joined the Las Vegas Raiders, where he provided depth and leadership before hitting free agency. His arrival in Pittsburgh continues the team’s trend of adding experienced linemen who can contribute immediately and mentor younger players.

The Steelers’ offensive line depth was tested in recent seasons, and Peat’s versatility could prove crucial during the grind of the AFC North schedule. His playoff experience and ability to shift between positions make him a valuable insurance policy — and perhaps even a challenger for a starting role.

Steelers Linked To Saints SuperStar With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade
Pittsburgh, PA — According to a  circulating on X (Twitter), the Pittsburgh Steelers have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Steelers look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set that meshes with Pittsburgh’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Pittsburgh intriguing two-back looks alongside Najee Harris on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Black and Gold really excites me.” As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Steelers or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Pittsburgh whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Steelers Nation perk up.
