Report: Steelers to Meet with Free Agent Safety Karl Joseph

March 31, 2021
By Alan Saunders

Former West Virginia and Cleveland Browns safety Karl Joseph will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent on Wednesday, according to a report by Josina Anderson of Undefined.

Joseph, 27, spent the 2020 season in Cleveland after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Oakland Raiders, which had made him the No. 14 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

With the Browns, Joseph appeared in 14 games and made eight starts as part of secondary that was ravaged by injuries and COVID-19 issues throughout the 2020 season. He finished with 67 tackles, tied for third on the team, along with our passes defended and two fumble recoveries. He also recovered a fumbled Maurkice Pouncey snap for a touchdown in the Browns’ Wild Card playoff win over then Steelers and had an interception in the Divisional Round against Kansas City.

Would be a really nice veteran signing to sure you some of the Backend. Can he play nickel?

[DesertSteel]

One or two year deal sounds good.

[Dwinsgames]

instant upgrade from Edmunds IMO

[pczach]

The Browns weren't happy with his play. He fought a hamstring injury, and his play in general wasn't as good as expected. In coverage, he wasn't very good.

I don't know if injuries are a part of that, but he underperformed last year. It was clearly his worst year as a pro.

Here's a link that talks about Joseph and gives some insight into his performance with some stats. https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2021...-replacements/

[Mojouw]

If they bring in Joseph, either he or Edmunds is playing linebacker.

[BlackAndGold]

Could help replace Sutton as the Dimebacker.

[Shoes]

instant upgrade from Edmunds IMO

Agreed.

[86WARD]

Colts signing Sean Davis so there’s a spot open...

[Steel Peon]

instant upgrade from Edmunds IMO

When you're right, you're right, and you're right.

[Born2Steel]

Karl Joseph would be the backup for Minkah and Edmunds.

[Steeler-in-west]

If he visited yesterday should hear something pretty soon

Karl Joseph would be the backup for Minkah and Edmunds.

Would be nice veteran depth. Does he have any ST value? Aka Dangerfield?

[DesertSteel]
