Steelers Release Plumlee, Tag Rodgers

0:00On April 28, Pittsburgh Steelers just dropped better in quarterback and wide receiver John Reese Plumley from the roster. He came in as an undrafted free agent out of UCF after the 2024 NFL draft, lighting it up with 20 total touchdowns in his final college year. Plumley bounced around a bit early on, spending time with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks before landing in the Steel City. Releases like this happen as teams trim the edges heading into summer workouts. It's been a wild morning for the Steelers front office. They also hit Aaron Rodgers with the right of first refusal tag. That keeps him in play for other squads until July 22, but if nothing sticks by then, Pittsburgh gets first dibs. Rodgers can still test free agency waters, but the clock's ticking as the team gears up. Their organized team activity start. May 18, giving everyone a chance to reset. With these moves shaking things up, the Steelers are positioning for fresh run eyes on how it all unfolds this offseason.
