Daniel Ekuale's one-year contract with the Steelers is worth $2.8 million, featuring a guaranteed signing bonus of $1.63 million. His contract is structured to likely exempt him from the compensatory pick formula for the 2026 NFL Draft, which could offer the Steelers more draft flexibility.

Daniel Ekuale has transitioned from the New England Patriots to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he is expected to strengthen their defensive line. His previous experience as a starter and reliable depth player for the Patriots makes him an asset for the Steelers' defensive strategy.
