Career with the Steelers
Brisker, who played with the Chicago Bears for four seasons, signed with the Steelers on a one-year contract worth $5.5 million in March 2026. In his NFL career, Brisker has recorded 342 combined tackles, 12 tackles for loss, seven sacks, four forced fumbles, 21 passes defended, and four interceptions.
What's next in 2026?
A highly physical, aggressive safety, Brisker embodies what it means to be a Steeler. Brisker's versatility was on full display in Chicago, and it will no doubt be utilized in Patrick Graham's new scheme. Brisker is expected to earn the starting free safety spot opposite strong safety DeShon Elliott, forming an underrated tandem in 2026.
