The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly bringing back their starting defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter announced that they’re in agreement on a three-year deal worth around $28.75 million, earning $21.75 million of the deal in the first two years of the contract.

Ogunjobi is set to be 29 at the start of next season and came to Pittsburgh last season on a one-year deal, which saw him start all 16 games for the Steelers.

He recorded 48 tackles, 25 solo tackles, 1.5 sacks, 7 tackles for loss, and 11 QB hits last season. Larry has 23 career sacks and 162 solo tackles.

He follows suit of safety Damontae Kazee, who resigned on a two-year deal earlier today.

He’ll continue to play alongside Cameron Heyward on the D-line for at least the next two seasons and remains a career AFC North man, playing previously with Cleveland and Cincinnati.
