Steelers Release Rookie DE Blake Mangelson

News summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers have waived undrafted defensive end Blake Mangelson, who was signed earlier this offseason out of BYU. Mangelson appeared in 41 games at BYU, recording 82 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, an interception, and a fumble recovery during his collegiate career. The move frees up a roster spot as the Steelers currently have a deep group of defensive ends, including veterans and recent draft picks. This roster opening could be used for a potential quarterback addition, with speculation around a signing of Aaron Rodgers or a trade involving Kirk Cousins. Mangelson participated in rookie minicamp and OTAs but will now be seeking opportunities elsewhere, though the Steelers have a history of bringing back such players in future camps or futures contracts. His release is part of the team's ongoing roster management during the offseason, particularly given the defensive line depth and upcoming roster limits.
