PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers cut 33 players on Saturday, trimming their roster to the NFL-mandated 53 players. Here’s a closer look at the final cuts:
Most significant move: Trading receiver Sammie Coates to the Cleveland Browns for a swap of late-round picks highlighted the Steelers' wideout depth and showed a team pushing for last-minute value. Coates was expendable, but still had enough talent to garner a sixth-round pick. The move provided a reminder that the Steelers have upgraded their receiver position with Martavis Bryant, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Justin Hunter.
