Steelers Release Veteran WR Robert Woods Ahead of 53-Man Deadline

The veteran was cut after a quiet camp that left him buried on the depth chart.

Overview

  • NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the move and noted the door is open for a practice-squad return, with Woods intending to play in 2025.
  • The decision effectively positions Scotty Miller to secure a roster spot at wide receiver, according to team-focused reporting.
  • Pittsburgh is weighing veteran additions at receiver, with reports linking the team to Jakobi Meyers as a trade target and continued interest in free agent Gabriel Davis.
  • Woods signed a $2 million offseason deal with $745,000 guaranteed, which leaves Pittsburgh with about $1.26 million in cap savings upon his release.
  • The cut arrives as NFL clubs finalize rosters to 53 players by today's 4 p.m. ET deadline.
