There are going to be dozens of names come out over the course of the next 8 or so hours of players NFL teams have released to get their rosters down to 53. Many of them will return to their original team on the practice squad and others will seek out a new team where they hope to have an impact.
When it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers, we expect to see some movement to help bolster some positions of need like offensive tackle, wide receiver or cornerback.
But what about a guy just because?
According to reports, the Cleveland Browns are releasing defensive tackle Siaki Ika. Ika is a guy we really liked as a nose tackle pre-draft for the Steelers. The Browns picked Ika in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft.

Ika got lost in the shuffle in Cleveland and only dressed for four games. He’s a no-risk/high-reward guy who could really help the team if he’s motivated and ready to play.
