The Steelers made an intriguing addition on Friday.
Pittsburgh announced the signing of veteran tight end Donald Parham Jr. to a one-year contract, allowing the organization to add some depth to the position before free agency opens on March 10.
Parham, 27, is far from a world-beater at the position, but did post 67 receptions for 764 yards and 11 touchdowns across four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers from 2020-2023. The Steelers will become his third organization in three years, signing the 6-foot-8, 237-pounder in hopes that he can provide some aid to the likes of Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington.
Parham’s football journey includes stops at Stetson University (2015-2018), the Washington Commanders (2019), Detroit Lions (2019), the XFL’s Arlington Renegades (2020) and the Denver Broncos (2024).
MyCole Pruitt is the only tight end headed toward free agency for Pittsburgh.
