The Steelers cut down their preseason roster from 89 players to the requisite 53 this afternoon. Among the players cut were former second-round pick Senquez Golson and long snapper Colin Holba who they used a 6th rounder on this year. Additionally, the Steelers made two trades in the hours before the roster cut deadline. They traded WR Sammie Coates and a 2019 7th round pick to the Cleveland Browns for a 2018 6th rounder. The pick they got back from Cleveland was the same one they had traded to Cleveland last year to acquire Justin Gilbert. Secondly, CB Ross Cockrell was traded to the New York Giants for a conditional draft pick.
