Former Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hakeem Butler is looking for another NFL home. This time, he might not be able to find it. Butler’s most recent stay in the league has become a short one, one of 11 players the team released/waived Friday afternoon.
Butler spent the 2023 spring and summer with the Steelers after starring with the XFL St. Louis Battlehawks earlier in the year. A former fourth round pick with size and college playmaking, Butler disappointed during training camp. He struggled to create separation and catch the ball before being waived with an injury late in the summer.
