The Pittsburgh Steelers have significantly improved their wide receiver room this offseason. Going forward, though, the 2026 group will not include Brandon Johnson.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Steelers claimed punter Aidan Laros off waivers Tuesday. To make room for Laros on the offseason roster, the team released Johnson.
“Steelers have claimed P Aidan Laros off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and released WR Brandon Johnson,” wrote Schefter.
This marks the end of Johnson’s third stint with the Steelers. The team brought him back this offseason on a 1-year contract on April 27.
The Steelers have now waived Johnson three times over the past year.
Laros is an undrafted rookie free agent. The Buccaneers signed the punter following the 2026 NFL Draft.
In Pittsburgh, Laros will join Cameron Johnston as the punters on the Steelers offseason roster this spring.
