Free-agent safety Damontae Kazee signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers over the weekend, according to a source. The five-year veteran has 12 career interceptions and will provide veteran depth behind starters Minkah Fitzpatrick and Terrell Edmunds in Pittsburgh's secondary. The 28-year-old spent last year in Dallas, where he recorded 52 tackles (35 solo), two interceptions, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 17 games (15 starts). Originally a fifth-round pick by the Atlanta Falcons in 2017 out of San Diego State, Kazee has a total of 251 tackles (172 solo), three tackles for loss, 17 passes defensed and seven forced fumbles in 69 career games over five NFL seasons.

Dallas Cowboys starting safety Damontae Kazee was arrested early Tuesday morning on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according to the police. Kazee was booked on a Class B misdemeanor and was released after posting $2,500 bond. The 28-year-old has started all six games this year and has 17 tackles (13 solo), an interception and a forced fumble for Dallas' improved defense. The Cowboys are on their bye in Week 7, but Kazee could be facing a suspension from the league and may not be available in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Dallas Cowboys signed free-agent safety Damontae Kazee to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to his agency. The former Atlanta Falcons starter will reunite with defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who was Kazee's head coach in Atlanta. Kazee was a fifth-round pick by the Falcons in 2017 and thrived as a free safety under Quinn. He had seven interceptions in his second NFL season in 2018 and added three more in 2019. The 27-year-old joins Keanu Neal as the second defensive back from Quinn's Falcons secondary to join the Cowboys this offseason. Neal is expected to start the year at linebacker, which could allow Kazee to slot in as the team's starting free safety, which was occupied by Xavier Woods last year. However, Kazee only played in four games in 2020 after suffering a torn Achilles in October.
