Daniel Ekuale, a veteran defensive tackle formerly with the New England Patriots, has found a new home with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ekuale was a dependable depth piece for the Patriots last season, starting 16 games while amassing 52 tackles and one sack. His addition to the Steelers bolsters their already formidable defensive line, providing insurance and depth, particularly in the wake of their own offseason changes.

The Patriots have undergone significant changes to their defensive front as well, trading Davon Godchaux to the New Orleans Saints and bringing in Milton Williams from the Philadelphia Eagles. This reshaping reflects the evolving strategies under head coach Mike Vrabel, marking a departure from the previous regime's approach.
