Overview
- The Steelers announced the release of Jamin Davis and receiver Levi Wentz as part of final roster cuts to reach the 53-player limit.
- The team informed Davis of his release on Saturday, Aug. 29, when it trimmed its roster ahead of the league deadline.
- Davis is a vested veteran so his release is a contract termination and he becomes an immediate free agent rather than going through waivers.
- A 2021 first-round pick out of Auburn, Davis has battled a season-ending shoulder injury and has bounced among the Raiders, Packers, Vikings and Jets since leaving Washington.
- Pittsburgh projects T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig and Jack Sawyer as its four edge rushers, which left no roster spot for a fifth outside linebacker and narrowed Davis’s immediate NFL options.
