After failing to find a trade partner, the Pittsburgh Steelers released cornerback and return specialist Desmond King II on Friday, according to ESPN's Field Yates.
It was reported earlier in the day that the organization informed the former Iowa star that it would be releasing him if they weren't able to flip him somewhere else, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
King played in just three games for the Steelers this season after signing with them in August following his release from the Houston Texans.
Also of note, Pittsburgh signed rookie defensive back Darius Rush off the Kansas City Chiefs.
