Every NFL team was forced to cut their rosters down from 90 players to 53 by 4:00 PM ET yesterday. Many former Pittsburgh Steelers did not survive the cut with their respective teams. In total, 1,184 players are cut and a large percentage of them will never see another NFL roster.
It’s the harsh reality of the NFL as a new crop of talent pushes others out each and every year.

Along with the 38 players cut on Pittsburgh’s roster over the last week, there were 32 former Steelers cut across 19 different NFL teams around the league.
