The Steelers have released a defensive player
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a roster move, but it’s not the one many have been waiting for as it pertains to Aaron Rodgers. Instead of a signing, Pittsburgh has let a player go.
Pittsburgh released defensive lineman Blake Mangelson. Mangelson was one of the undrafted free agents the Steelers signed after the NFL Draft.
Mangelson spent his college years at BYU, racking up 37 tackles, six tackles for loss, and two sacks in 2024. In his college career, he had 82 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks.

The Steelers added several new pieces to their defensive line this offseason. They drafted Derrick Harmon, Jack Saywer, and Yahya Black were added via the NFL Draft, while Esezi Otomewo and Daniel Ekuale were signed in free agency. Pittsburgh has a ton of depth at the position, so multiple players being let go was expected to happen at some point this offseason.
