Steelers sign 13 to reserve/futures contracts Wednesday

Offseason roster moves have begun for the Pittsburgh Steelers, with the team announcing 13 reserve/futures contracts Wednesday. You can read the full list below:

• Long snapper Cal Adomitis
• Defensive linemen Kyler Baugh, Anthony Goodlow, K.J. Henry,
• Wide receivers Cole Burgess, Max Hurleman, John Rhys Plumlee (also a scout team quarterback)
• Defensive backs Daequan Hardy, Jack Henderson
• Offensive linemen Steven Jones, Aiden Williams
• Running back Lew Nichols
• Outside linebacker Julius Welschof

With the exception of Burgess, every player had an earlier stint on the Steelers practice squad in 2025.

Burgess went undrafted in 2024 out of the State University of New York at Cortland. He has since had stints with the Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals. The 6’1, 198-pound receiver scored a 8.92 coming out of college. He has yet to record an NFL catch.

Tight ends Jaheim Bell and Matt Sokol, defensive backs Tre Flowers and D’Shawn Jamison, defensive end DeMarvin Leal, offensive lineman Doug Nester, running back Trey Sermon, and wide receiver Brandon Johnson are the remaining current members of the Steelers’ practice squad who are still unsigned.
