The Las Vegas Raiders are set to release defensive end Jerry Tillery, according to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and he’s someone that the Pittsburgh Steelers may have an interest in when free agency opens.
For one, the Steelers had a heavy presence at his Pro Day in 2019, with former GM Kevin Colbert attending, as well as now-defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, along with Phil Kriedler and Dan Rooney Jr. Tillery was a first-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers that year, but he was released in the middle of the 2022 season and then latched on with the Raiders.
