Shabazz, 24, originally signed on with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent out of West Chester in July of last year but was waived as the team trimmed their roster down to 75 players.

Shabazz has been on and off of the Steelers’ active roster but was cut loose to make room for K Randy Bullock. The Texans claimed him off waivers from Pittsburgh a few weeks ago but he was waived this past weekend.
In 2016, Shabazz appeared in six games and recorded just one tackle.
