Zach Gentry and Damontae Kazee are officially back in Pittsburgh, while Breiden Fehoko and Keanu Neal have officially signed to join the Steelers, the organization announced Tuesday.
Financial terms for all four deals remained undisclosed by the team.
Per the team, the safety Kazee returns on a two-year contract, while the tight end Gentry is back on a one-year deal. The nose tackle Fehoko arrives from a three-year stint with the Chargers on a one-year contract, while the safety Neal inked for two years after spending last season in Tampa Bay.
Kazee was limited to just nine games in his first season as a Steeler in 2022 after sustaining a preseason wrist injury, which kept him out until mid-November. He intercepted two passes and defended two last season.
A former fifth-round pick of Atlanta in 2017, Kazee tied for the NFL lead with his seven interceptions in 2018.
Gentry has played each of his four seasons in Pittsburgh after being drafted in the fifth round in 2019. He played in all 17 regular-season games for the second straight season and caught 19 passes for 132 yards in 2022.
Fehoko registered 23 tackles in nine games in his third NFL season after signing with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent out of LSU. Through his career, the 26-year-old Fehoko has recorded 36 total tackles with one for loss.
Fehoko is most widely known as the former LSU player whose family would initiate a haka chant before his games, sending a family moment into the viral portion of the internet space. His father, Vili Fehoko, is one of the most recognizable faces in the history of the University of Hawaii's football program, as he appeared on the sidelines as Vili the Warrior on game days beginning in 2000.
Here is a video of Breiden performing the ritual with his family while he played at LSU. This one went viral in 2018:
And, Fehoko performed it again on the Chargers' practice field in 2020:

Neal is seasoned as a safety after being drafted in the first round (17th overall) by Atlanta in 2016 out of Florida. He was a Pro Bowl selection after the 2017 season in which he tallied 116 total tackles, four for loss, while defending six passes and recovering two fumbles. Last season with Tampa Bay, the 27-yar-old Neal posted 63 total tackles, two for loss, with a career-high five quarterback hits.
