The Pittsburgh Steelers made an announcement on Thursday regarding their latest roster move, officially signing cornerback Tre Flowers. The 30-year-old defensive back brings a mix of experience and potential to the team’s lineup.
Flowers entered the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2018, but his journey has taken him through several teams. After being waived by the Seahawks in October 2021, he was quickly claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals. In April 2022, the Bengals extended him with a one-year contract, but Flowers eventually found himself with the Atlanta Falcons for another year.
Last season, he split his time between the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars, participating in five games. More recently, Flowers was part of the Detroit Lions’ practice squad ahead of the 2025 season, seeing limited action as he was frequently moved on and off their roster. As of this year, he has played in two games for the Lions but has yet to make a statistical impact.
The addition of Flowers not only bolsters the Steelers’ secondary depth but also provides an opportunity for him to carve out a significant role in the ongoing season. Given his experience across various teams, he could potentially become a valuable asset for the Steelers as they strive for success. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how he adapts to his new environment in Pittsburgh.
