After deciding to leave in free agency to go to his hometown team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, defensive end Tyson Alualu has had a change of heart and is returning to Pittsburgh to play for the Steelers in the 2021 season.

We don’t have much more beyond what Tom Pelissero shared on Twitter just moments ago:

After initially agreeing to terms with the #Jaguars, veteran DE Tyson Alualu had a change of heart and now is re-signing with the #Steelers on a two-year deal, per sources.

Crazy backstory: Tyson Alualu was going to sign with the #Jaguars, but couldn’t make the trip after testing positive for COVID, per sources. He’d built his dream home in Pittsburgh, has kids in school, and with 10 days to think, he decided to stay. https://t.co/oeVQv9W2ie

But this is certainly good news for the Steelers, who had lost some big names on defense throughout the first couple weeks of free agency. This will help to re-solidify their front seven and hopefully allow them to continue to build a Super Bowl contending team.
