Steelers & Damontae Kazee Have ‘Mutual Interest’ In New Deal

Matt Lombardo of Heavy.com reports that there is “mutual interest” between the Steelers and impending free agent S Damontae Kazee in a new deal.

Lombardo expects there to be a “strong market” for Kazee should he get to free agency in the coming weeks.

Kazee, 29, was a fifth-round pick by the Falcons out of San Diego State back in 2017. He signed a four-year, $2.68 million contract with the team that included a signing bonus of $288,922.

Kazee played out the final year of his rookie contract and was set to visit with the Lions before deciding to sign with Dallas in 2021.

The Steelers signed Kazee to a one-year deal last April. 

In 2022, Kazee appeared in nine games for the Steelers and recorded 19 tackles, two interceptions and two pass defenses.
