Fox, according to a source, agreed to a two-year, $1.8 million deal that included a $380,000 signing bonus. The 27-year-old linebacker came to the Steelers in 2008 and helped out as one of the key players on special teams.
Fox was a third-round choice of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2004 and spent four seasons there. He started four games in 2006 for the Chiefs, but his career has mostly been as a backup and special teams player.
He will become the fifth free agent to re-sign, joining cornerback Fernando Bryant, guard Trai Essex, linebacker Andre Frazier and guard Chris Kemoeatu.
Unsigned are quarterbacks Charlie Batch and Byron Leftwich, defensive end Orpheus Roye and punter Mitch Berger.
