Steelers Re-Sign Zach Banner
4 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed offensive tackle Zach Banner to a two-year, $9.5 million deal. The Steelers also announced the release of linebacker Vince Williams. Banner's deal includes a $3.25 million signing bonus. Banner put in a ton of hard work to earn the team's starting tackle spot, but he went down with a season-ending ACL tear in his knee in the first game of the season last year. The Steelers need all the help they can get along the offensive line with Matt Feiler gone and Alejandro Villanueva's status up in the air. The 27-year-old Banner was a fourth-round pick out of USC by the Indianapolis Colts in 2017. He spent his first season with the Cleveland Browns before spending his last two years in Pittsburgh. Banner didn't play at all in 2018.
