Steelers decline 5th-year option on LB Devin Bush

PITTSBURGH — Devin Bush will be playing for his job in 2022.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have declined the fifth-year option on the inside linebacker, meaning he can become a free agent next spring.

Pittsburgh traded up in the first round of the 2019 draft to take Bush with the 10th overall pick.

He returned in time to start the 2021 season but saw his playing time fluctuate.

Bush played well as a rookie but hit a setback when he tore the ACL in his left knee against Cleveland in October 2020.
