On Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers notified starting slot cornerback Arthur Maulet they were releasing him. With Maulet out, newly-signed Chandon Sullivan and Levi Wallace will be the top candidates to replace Maulet in the lineup.

Sullivan was signed as a free agent during the 2023 NFL draft. Sullivan started 30 games over the previous three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers. Sullivan is a natural slot corner and the frontrunner to win the job.
