Savage began the 2025 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars and was released after two games. He was then signed by the Washington Commanders, appearing in eight games before being released in December. He was quickly picked up by the Bills, where he remained for the rest of the season.
Savage was drafted No. 21 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. He has 10 interceptions in seven seasons.
The Steelers entered this week with just two safeties on the roster - DeShon Elliott and Sebastian Castro. They've made other additions to their secondary, re-signing cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. and signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean.
