Former Pittsburgh Steelers starter Chukwuma Okorafor will play a different role for the New England Patriots.
PITTSBURGH -- Former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor will play a different role for his new team than the one he played while wearing black and gold.
As Okorafor transitions from the Steelers to the Patriots, he will make a position change, moving from the right to the left side. New England director of scouting and de facto general manager Eliot Wolf said this week that Okorafor would be their starting left tackle if the season started today.
Okorafor was cut early in the offseason by the Steelers and got a jump on pursuing his free agent options. He wound up signing with the Patriots on a one-year contract worth $4 million at base value and could climb to as high as $8.25 million by the time the season ends.
