Darnell Savage: Breaking News

Savage and the Steelers agreed on a one-year contract Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Savage will head to Pittsburgh after combining to record 18 total tackles (10 solo), a pass defensed and a forced fumble over 12 regular-season games with the Jaguars, Commanders and Bills in 2025. The 28-year-old will provide the Steelers with an experienced reserve option at safety behind DeShon Elliott (knee) and Jalen Ramsey in 2026.

The Bills claimed Savage off waivers from the Commanders on Friday. The veteran safety was waived by the Commanders on Thursday after being a healthy scratch for their Week 13 overtime loss to the Broncos. Savage gives the Bills added depth in the secondary, which is needed after Darius Slay -- whom Buffalo claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh on Wednesday -- refused to report to team facilities. Across 10 regular-season games with the Commanders (eight games) and the Jaguars (two games), Savage has accumulated 16 tackles (10 solo), two pass defenses and one forced fumble.

The Commanders waived Savage on Thursday. Savage was a healthy scratch for the Commanders' Week 13 loss to the Broncos. The organization granted the safety's request for release Thursday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports. Savage will now go on waivers and will become a free agent if he goes unclaimed.
