In announcing the signing of safety Arthur Maulet, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced they have waived two players in corresponding moves. Those two players are safety John Battle and cornerback Trevor Williams.
Both players had signed reserve/future contracts this offseason. Williams was signed at the tail end of last season after Joe Haden landed on the COVID list. A veteran corner, it seemed like he had a chance to make the roster but the team opted to cut him even before any offseason programs began. His release is a bit of a surprise.
Williams has appeared in 41 career games, making 27 starts, but has seen his career derailed by injury.
