Episode Details

The Steelers made a tough but necessary move, waiving wide receiver Brandon Johnson to make room for punter Aidan Laros — a move that underscores their focus on special teams as the regular season nears. Johnson, 27, had three stints with Pittsburgh, including a brief return after an injury settlement, and showed relentless dedication, staying late to work with teammates even as his roster spot hung in the balance. A journeyman undrafted free agent from UCF, Johnson’s NFL path has been marked by resilience and perseverance across multiple teams and practice squads. While his departure is disappointing, it’s a reminder of the NFL’s competitive nature — and the hard choices teams must make to stay sharp.
