Steelers to Release Calvin Anderson
The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to make their first transaction of the offseason, as they plan to release offensive tackle Calvin Anderson, this according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic.
Anderson was signed by the Steelers in September of 2024, after being cut from the New England Patriots.
Pittsburgh re-signed Anderson last offseason to a two-year extension.
Anderson appeared in 13 games total with the Steelers; primarily as a swing tackle behind the likes of Dan Moore Jr, Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, and Dylan Cook.
On December 10th, the Steelers placed Anderson on injured reserve, with a season-ending knee injury.
Anderson had a cap hit of $2.4 million for 2026. By releasing him, Pittsburgh will save $2 million. Given that Anderson is a reserve OT, it makes sense to address tackle depth in the draft for cheaper.
