What are the Steelers going to do with their open roster spot?
The Pittsburgh Steelers waived WR Denzel Mims yesterday, shortly after they wrapped up minicamp. The move opens up a roster spot, and people are wondering how the Steelers intend to fill it. The more adventurous and hopeful suggest that it is the prelude to a trade—for example for a starting wide receiver. Perhaps not Brandon Aiyuk in particular, but somebody who shores up the weakest starting spot.
This is not the most common time for teams to release players, though it does happen.
