Steelers Trim Roster Down

September 5th, 2020 at 4:06pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The entire AFC North is now finished as the Steelers became the latest team to trim their roster to 53 players. Here are all the moves, we’ll recap the most notable ones at the bottom:

QB Paxton Lynch
DL Daniel McCullers
WR Ryan Switzer
DB Antoine Brooks Jr.
RB Kerrith Whyte Jr.
RB Trey Edmunds
RB Wendell Smallwood
WR Saeed Blacknall
WR DeAndre Thompkins
WR Deon Cain
WR Amara Darboh
OL Christian DiLauro
OL John Keenoy
OL Derwin Gray
OL Anthony Coyle
OL Jarron Jones
TE Kyle Markway
TE Kevin Rader
DL Cavon Walker
DL Henry Mondeaux
DL Calvin Taylor
LB Tuzar Skipper
LB Jayrone Elliott
DB Trajan Bandy
DB John Battle
P Corliss Waitman
LS Liam McCullough

Lynch is probably the most well known of these names. The former Broncos first-round bust signed with the Steelers last year as insurance after multiple quarterback injuries. He’s running out of chances. Switzer has mostly contributed as a returner with Pittsburgh and Dallas, although he did have 36 catches with the Steelers in 2018.

Smallwood was one of the Eagles’ main running backs in 2018, but didn’t get too many touches with Washington last year. He’ll likely pop up somewhere else soon. Brooks Jr. was the Steelers’ sixth-round pick in this past draft, so he’s likely ticketed for the practice squad if he clears waivers.

McCullers has been with the Steelers the past six years so his is a significant departure even though the nose tackle only played 12 percent of the defensive snaps last season.

Eagles Reach 53-Man Limit

August 31st, 2019 at 7:36pm CST by Zachary Links

The Eagles have gotten down to 53, making some notable cuts to get there. The team released guard/center Stefen Wisniewski, who they re-signed to a $1.5MM deal back in May. He had gotten $150K guaranteed, so Philly will eat that. Wisniewski had started at least six games in each of the past three seasons for the Eagles.

To help thin out their crowded running backs room, they got rid of a few well-known names. They waived Josh Adams, who rushed for 511 yards for them last year, as well as 2017 fourth-round pick Donnel Pumphrey, who has battled injuries ever since entering the league. They also cut Wendell Smallwood, who had 364 yards rushing and three touchdowns and another 230 yards and two touchdowns through the air last year.

Offensive tackle Brett Toth also failed to make the team. Toth only recently got permission from the Army to join the NFL, and he signed with the Eagles only a couple weeks ago. He seems like a prime candidate for a practice squad spot.

Aside from that, and other announced moves, the Eagles made the following roster moves over the weekend to reach the 53-player limit:

Waived:

WR Carlton Agudosi

S Trae Elston

C Anthony Fabiano

TE Alex Ellis

S Deiondre’ Hall

CB Ajene Harris

CB Josh Hawkins

DT Treyvon Hester

T Riley Mayfield

CB Jeremiah McKinnon
