Report: Steelers to Sign FA OL Joe Haeg

Published

on

The Steelers have agreed to sign guard/tackle Joe Haeg from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a report by Mike Garafalo of NFL Network.

Haeg, 28, spent the 2020 season in Tampa, playing in 12 games and making three starts on the way to the Buccaneers winning Super Bowl XLI in their hometown.

He spent the previous four years with the Indianapolis Colts, making 35 starts over four seasons with the Colts, mostly at right tackle. The Colts drafted Haeg in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State.

The Steelers have already lost center Maurkice Pouncey to retirement and guard Matt Feiler to free agency. Left tackle Alejandro Villanueva is also not expected to return. 

The team has supplanted their existing unit by bringing back B.J. Finney on a free agent contract and re-signing tackle Zach Banner.
