Overview
- Pittsburgh announced 13 reserve/future contracts Wednesday, including former college quarterback John Rhys Plumlee at wide receiver.
- Plumlee went undrafted in 2024, had brief stints with the Seahawks and Jaguars, and finished 2025 on the Steelers practice squad after a December 17 re-signing.
- The additions were roughly split between offense and defense, with three receivers signed in Plumlee, Cole Burgess and Max Hurleman.
- Long snapper Cal Adomitis was added for insurance after starter Christian Kuntz sustained a December knee injury but did not miss a game.
- Team president Art Rooney II said Aaron Rodgers came to Pittsburgh to play for Mike Tomlin, a remark that raises questions about the quarterback’s future under a new coach.
