Steelers Expected To Cut Allen Robinson II

Steelers Expected To Cut Allen Robinson II

one year 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.
