The Pittsburgh Steelers are keeping one of their own from leaving in free agency.

Nose tackle Montravius Adams has agreed to a two-year deal to return to the Steelers, ESPN reported Thursday night. He became an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday.

Adams, 28, has spent two-plus seasons with the Steelers, joining them late in the 2021 season when he was signed after being waived by the New Orleans Saints.

A situational defender along the line, Adams played 48% of the defensive snaps last year when he appeared in 13 games, starting eight. He had one pass breakup, one forced fumble and 24 tackles. He shared time at nose tackle last year with rookie second-round pick Keeanu Benton.

In 35 career games with the Steelers, Adams has made eight starts.

“I would love to return back to Pittsburgh, had a great, me and coach (Mike) Tomlin had a great dialogue when I got that dreaded call of being released,” he said. “But being there in Pittsburgh I had the time of my life, being with coach Tomlin, seeing how he was able to get his guys up week in and week out, no matter what the circumstances were, he told me the door’s still open for business, so we’ll see what happens here in the next couple weeks and month or two, and hopefully I can be a Pittsburgh Steeler again.

The newest addition to the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback room has his new jersey and he showed it off for the world to see on Twitter.

And while it might be some new threads and new colors for Wilson as he makes the move from the Denver Broncos to the Steelers, it won’t be a new jersey number. Wilson has worn 3 for his entire career, dating back to his days with the Seattle Seahawks, and it doesn’t appear that will change now.
