After acquiring the likes of WR Mike Williams and EDGE Preston Smith via trade Thursday, the Pittsburgh Steelers are waiving TE Rodney Williams, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Coming into Tuesday’s trade deadline, the Steelers’ 53-man roster sat at 52 players. The acquisitions of Williams and Smith put them at 54, meaning a corresponding move was needed. Though the acquisition of Smith is not official — the Steelers announced Mike Williams’ acquisition — the Steelers are reportedly waiving TE Rodney Williams, clearing a roster spot.
