Overview
- The Steelers released quarterback and wideout John Rhys Plumlee, according to Behind the Steel Curtain citing reporter Aaron Wilson.
- Plumlee joined Pittsburgh as an undrafted signee in 2024 out of UCF, where he totaled 20 touchdowns in his final season, and he previously spent time with the Jaguars and Seahawks.
- The team also placed a right-of-first-refusal tag on Aaron Rodgers, which, per the report, lets him sign with another club only until July 22 and then only with Pittsburgh after that date.
- The tag limits Rodgers’ near-term market and could leave a return to Pittsburgh as the default if no outside offer materializes before the cutoff.
- OTAs for the Steelers begin May 18, so these steps help set the early offseason roster for evaluation in voluntary practices.
