Every Former Steeler Released Around The NFL On 2025 Cutdown Day
Every NFL team was forced to cut their roster down from 90 players to 53 by 4:00 PM/ET yesterday. Many former Pittsburgh Steelers did not survive the cut with their respective teams. In total, 1,184 players were cut and a large percentage of them will never see another NFL roster.
It’s the harsh reality of the NFL as a new crop of talent pushes others out each and every year.
You can check out the Steelers’ initial 53-man roster here.
Along with the 38 players cut on Pittsburgh’s roster over the last week, there were 32 former Steelers cut across 19 different NFL teams. That includes five former Steelers draft picks ranging from first-round picks (Terrell Edmunds) to seventh-round picks (Chris Oladokun). Some of the 32 players will be very familiar names, while others may have spent just a short time in Pittsburgh on its practice squad or offseason roster.
