The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly interested in signing Los Angeles Rams safety Kamren Curl in free agency. Curl, a six-year veteran, has emerged as one of the league's top run-stopping safeties with strong coverage abilities. He could help ease the Steelers' defensive transition as they look to rebuild after a disappointing 2025 season.
Why it matters
The Steelers are in need of defensive reinforcements after their defense collapsed last season. Curl's versatility and experience could be a valuable addition as Pittsburgh looks to retool its secondary with both Kyle Dugger and Chuck Clark set to hit free agency.
The details
Curl, 27, has amassed impressive stats over his six-year career, including 122 combined tackles, 2.0 sacks, and 2 interceptions in 2025. He is expected to command a three-year, $39 million contract on the open market, which the Steelers would likely need to offer to sign him.
- Curl is set to become an unrestricted free agent on March 15, 2026.
