On April 29, Pittsburgh Steelers just cut wide receiver John Reese Plumley to open a spot for veteran Brandon Johnson returning to the roster. This versatile athlete, who doubles as a quarterback from his college days, signed with the team as an undrafted free agent back in April 20, 24. Earlier this week, the move hit as part of roster tweaks heading into the season. Plumley had bounced back to Pittsburgh after Stince elsewhere, including a practice squad deal with the Jaguars and time on the Seahawks active, roster. Fans are buzzing about the tough call, since Plumley showed flashes of potential across positions, losing that flexibility hurts, but bringing back a proven vet like Johnson Ames to boost the passing game right away. Most recently, after getting waived injured by Seattle in August 20, 25, he rejoined the Steelers on practice squad last October and locked in a reserve futures contract in January 20, 26. The roster battles stay brutal in the league, and this shuffle keeps the Steelers eye

and death where it counts most.
