Roberts Released, But Not Forgotten | NFL News

The Steelers stunned fans by cutting veteran linebacker Elandon Roberts just days after signing him, opting instead for Cole Holcomb and Carson Bruener as backups behind starters Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson. GM Omar Khan praised Roberts’ character and past contributions, leaving the door open for a potential return—but not likely via the practice squad. Roberts, now unsigned, is actively seeking a new team, with the NFL’s fluid landscape offering him chances before the season starts. The Steelers’ current linebacker depth is solid, with Jacoby Windmon on the practice squad, and while Roberts remains a fallback option, a return would require a major roster shake-up. Both sides are moving forward—Roberts chasing his next opportunity, Pittsburgh focused on developing its young talent.
