The Buffalo Bills have lost another defensive back from the team’s 2025 roster, with safety Darnell Savage set to sign a one-year contract to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers, per a source shared with Tom Pelissero. Savage was a key late-season depth addition for Buffalo, with the team claiming him off waivers after cornerback Darius Slay Jr. refused to report to One Bills Drive.
