Steelers Releasing Robert Woods

Tuesday, August 26, 12:31 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers are releasing veteran wide receiver Robert Woods on Tuesday, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, the door is open for a possible return if Woods doesn't get picked up by another team before the start of the regular season in early September. The 33-year-old plans to play either way in 2025. Even before the release of Woods, Pittsburgh's receiver depth chart was thin behind DK Metcalf. Behind Metcalf, the Steelers currently have Calvin Austin III (abdomen), Roman Wilson, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek. Wilson is the favorite to open the year as the WR3. Woods, who is heading into his 13th year in the NFL, caught just 20 of his 30 targets for 203 yards and no touchdowns in 15 regular-season games (four starts) in 2024 with the Houston Texans. He's nearing the end of his career and is well off the fantasy radar.

Zay Jones Signing Back With Cardinals

Tuesday, March 11, 1:47 PM

The Arizona Cardinals are re-signing wide receiver Zay Jones to a one-year, $4.4 million deal, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The 29-year-old signed with Arizona last May but was suspended for the team's first five games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Overall, he played in 11 contests and totaled eight receptions for 84 yards. In addition to the Cardinals, Jones has spent time with the Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders, and Jacksonville Jaguars during his eight-year NFL career. He has posted more than 600 receiving yards just once in his career, so it would be a surprise if he's on the fantasy football radar in 2025.
