Perry has appeared in 10 NFL games in his career, starting three of them. He posted 12 receptions for 246 receiving yards and four touchdowns, all coming during the 2023 season.
The Steelers announced the signing on Thursday, continuing their offseason roster moves as they prepare for the next phase of McCarthy’s regime.
In a related development, Pittsburgh also announced a coaching change this week, hiring Adam Henry as the team’s new wide receivers coach on Wednesday. Henry’s addition marks the first announced staff move under McCarthy.
Taken together, the moves underscore a clear emphasis on bolstering the receiver group as the Steelers advance through the offseason and build toward the next campaign. Reserve/future contracts like Perry’s provide additional depth ahead of the 90-man offseason roster period.
