Released by the Pittsburgh Steelers last month, S Trenton Thompson is looking for a next home. Ahead of training camps, he jumped on the league tryout circuit, trying out for the Carolina Panthers Monday.
Thompson was surprisingly waived on June 19, the same day the team dumped WR Denzel Mims. Mims quickly caught on with the Jacksonville Jaguars but Thompson was had to be wait for a new opportunity. Pittsburgh’s decision was curious, not even adding another safety to replace him. It was, perhaps, a sign that Thompson didn’t stand a good chance to make the team’s 53-man roster.
