Steelers Expected To Cut Allen Robinson II

9 months ago

The Pittsburgh Steelers already released Chukwuma Okorafor, Mitch Trubisky and Pressley Harvin III, clearing nearly $13 million in 2024 salary cap space, and wide receiver Allen Robinson II is expected to be next, according to The Athletic's Mark Kaboly. The Steelers acquired Robinson in a trade from the Rams last year under the notion that it would only be a one-year marriage considering his $11.9 million cap hit in 2024. Cutting him would save Pittsburgh $10 million with $1.9 million in dead money, so it's a no-brainer basically. He started all 17 games in 2023 and played 72% of the offensive snaps but caught just 34 passes for 280 yards and no touchdowns. Unless the team adds a veteran in free agency, Calvin Austin III is set to take over A-Rob's role in 2024.
