The 29-year-old took to social media right after to express gratitude to the fans, the city, and the organization for warmly welcoming him and his family over the past few years. He highlighted how special the connections are with teammates, coaches, and supporters in the league. Calvin joined the Steelers in September 2024 on their 53-man roster. He appeared in four regular season games and suited up for their wildcard playoff matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Last off season, he resigned on a two-year contract worth $4 million, but managed only 23 offensive snaps across nine games in. 2025 before a knee injury sidelined him in December. For Pittsburgh, Anderson bounced around the league as an undrafted free agent out of Texas. He spent time with the New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Denver Broncos.

Health setbacks marked his career, including a heart contusion in 2023 and about with malaria after a trip to Nigeria. The move saves the Steelers $2 million against the salary cap, though they take on $415,000 in debt money. It leaves their offensive line-depth thinner, especially a tackle. Looking ahead, players like Dylan Cook could compete for the left tackle spot, while others such as Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick, and Troy Fattano. Seemed mocked in as starters, Pittsburgh might seek additions soon to bolster the trenches. D&N is brought to you by our sponsor.
