The Pittsburgh Steelers are bolstering their offensive line by signing Super Bowl champion and former Philadelphia Eagles guard Isaac Seumalo to a three-year, $24 million deal. from multiple sources.
Seumalo, a third-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Oregon State, spent the first seven seasons of his professional career in Philadelphia. He started all 17 regular-season games last season for the Eagles, along with all three of the team’s matchups, including Super Bowl LVIII.
In 1,135 offensive snaps for the Eagles last season, the 29-year-old allowed just one sack and received a 75.2 overall grade from Pro Football Focus, which was better than any of Pittsburgh’s top linemen in last season
Seumalo was one of 19 unrestricted free agents from the Eagles heading into this offseason. Seumalo’s future hinged heavily on the return of center Jason Kelce. With Kelce announcing that he will indeed return to Philly for the 2023-24 season, it was highly likely that Seumalo would sign with another team.
Seumalo checked in at No. 31 on FOX Sports’ 2023 NFL free agent rankings.
