A former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver is looking for a new team with the 2025 NFL season nearing.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Andy Isabella was released by the San Francisco 49ers this week after suffering an ankle injury, according to ESPN insider Adam Schefter.
Isabella had a brief stint on the Steelers roster last season. He signed to their practice squad on Oct. 25 and was released on Nov. 5. Pittsburgh parted ways with him after trading for wide receiver Mike Williams at the trade deadline.
The 28-year-old began his NFL career as a second-round pick (No. 62 overall) by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2019 NFL Draft. He spent four seasons with the Cardinals (2019-2022), recording 33 receptions for 447 yards and three touchdowns in 41 games.
Isabella was then picked up by the Baltimore Ravens shortly after, spending the rest of the 2022 season with them.
He signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2023, but only played in two regular season games and two playoff games. Isabella signed a reserve/future contract with the Bills in 2024 but was released before the start of the season.
Isabella played college football at UMass, where he led the entirety of FBS with 1,698 total receiving yards and 141.5 receiving yards per game. He was also second in total receptions (102), third for receptions per game (8.5) and tied for sixth in touchdown receptions (13).
Isabella ranked sixth in FBS for all-purpose yards per game (152.67), which placed him first out of all FBS players in New England and second among all wide receivers nationally.
At the combine, Isabella ran a 4.31 second 40-yard dash, which was the third-fastest time that year, tied with Ohio State wide receiver Parris Campbell.
