The Pittsburgh Steelers have reshaped their wide receiver room this offseason, with the 2026 roster now marked by a notable change: Brandon Johnson will not be part of the group. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Steelers claimed punter Aidan Laros off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, prompting the release of Johnson to clear roster space.
Laros, an undrafted rookie free agent, joins the Steelers’ offseason roster as the lone punter alongside Cameron Johnston. Johnson’s departure marks the end of his third stint with the Steelers, who had re-signed him earlier this offseason on a one-year deal before waiving him this week.
Key highlights:
– Steelers claim P Aidan Laros off waivers; WR Brandon Johnson released.
– Johnson exits after three separate stints with the team, most recently re-signed for 1 year in April.
– Laros joins Cameron Johnston as the Steelers’ punting options on the offseason roster.
