Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers are reuniting with a familiar face from their Green Bay days.
The Steelers announced former Packers tight end Robert Tonyan signed a one-year contract on Thursday, while linebacker Jamin Davis also was added on a one-year deal.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the Steelers, who also released tight end Chamon Metayer.
Tonyan, 32, tried out at Pittsburgh's recent minicamp.
The Packers signed Tonyan, who went undrafted out of Indiana State, to their practice squad in 2017. He made his debut the following season, appearing in 16 games (one start) during McCarthy's final campaign in Pittsburgh.
Tonyan's best season came in 2020, when he caught 52 passes for 586 yards and 11 touchdowns, both career highs.
He became a free agent after the 2022 season, then played single seasons with the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs.
Tonyan has appeared in 107 career games (24 starts) and caught 149 passes for 1,550 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Davis, 27, was selected by the Washington Commanders with the 19th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft. He spent three full seasons with Washington before splitting the 2024 campaign between the Commanders and Vikings.
He had three tackles in two games (one start) last season with the Las Vegas Raiders.
