Pittsburgh Steelers punter Braden Mann went unclaimed on waivers today, a day after being waived by Pittsburgh, per the NFL transaction log.
Mann was kept on Pittsburgh initial 53-man roster after a strong preseason, with the team seemingly attempting to find a trade partner for him. The Philadelphia Eagles seemed like a logical destination, as they had reported interested and waived their punter, Arynn Siposs, but a trade wasn’t found and Pittsburgh waived Mann to make room on their roster for the signing of Desmond King.
With Philadelphia (and every other team) not claiming Mann, it’s clear it would’ve been difficult for the Steelers to work out a trade.
