Career with the Steelers
Homer, who previously played four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks (2019-2022) and three with the Chicago Bears , signed with the Steelers on a one-year, $1.3 million contract in March 2026. Homer tends to fly under the radar when looking strictly at rushing numbers, but his value for Pittsburgh this upcoming season goes well beyond that.
What's next in 2026?
Homer is arguably one of the best special teamers the Steelers have at their disposal in 2026. Having recorded 46 special teams tackles, including one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, and one special teams touchdown, Homer also offers versatility as a return specialist. His pass protection is also a selling point, and he could very easily earn a roster spot over Kaleb Johnson or Eli Heidenreich, depending on how training camp plays out.
