Former Steelers Safety Fan Favorite Cut by Chargers Sends Emotional Plea to Rejoin Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh, PA – July 12, 2025

A former Steelers safety, beloved by fans, was cut by the Chargers, sources told ESPN. His emotional plea to return to Pittsburgh has stirred Steeler Nation’s hearts, per Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The veteran’s journey embodies Pittsburgh’s grit. His recent social media post, gone viral, reignites hope for a homecoming to the black and gold, per Steelers Depot.

Terrell Edmunds wrote on X: “Pittsburgh gave me my first shot. I left my soul on that field every snap. If the Steelers need me, nothing would mean more than wearing black and gold again.”

From 2018-2022, Edmunds played 79 games for Pittsburgh, amassing 458 tackles, 5 interceptions, and 5 sacks. His 2022 PFF grade of 68.9 showcased his versatility, per Pro-Football-Reference.com.

Edmunds’ 2023 exit to Philadelphia sparked debate. Fans on X, like @SteelCityFan, lamented the loss of his leadership alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick, per The Athletic.

His brief 2024 Chargers stint ended abruptly. With Pittsburgh’s secondary needing depth post-Fitzpatrick trade, Edmunds’ plea resonates, per NFL.com.

Mike Tomlin called Edmunds “a true Steeler,” per Steelers.com. With $45 million in cap space, GM Omar Khan eyes a reunion, per Spotrac.

As training camp looms July 24, Edmunds’ words inspire. Can he return to spark a Super Bowl LX run? Stay tuned to ESPN.
