The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed cornerback Kyler McMichael to a reserve/future contract. McMichael joined the team during training camp but was released shortly after its conclusion and never found a place in the NFL on a practice squad for the entire season. As a result, he looped right back around to the Steelers at the season’s conclusion.

Wide receiver Quez Watkins, who spent the entire 2024 season on the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad, has signed with the Arizona Cardinals for the 2025 season, according to the NFL transaction page for Thursday.

Two years ago, wide receiver Quez Watkins was the Philadelphia Eagles’ “Fast Batman.” But he didn’t play a snap during the NFL’s 2024 regular season and will get another fresh start for 2025. The Arizona Cardinals announced on Thursday they had signed the former Athens High School standout to a reserve/future contract.

The Arizona Cardinals have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Quez Watkins. Watkins was with the Steelers for the entire season on their practice squad, but never played in a game for the team. After the season, the Steelers did not re-sign him to a future’s contract.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a daunting offseason ahead of them after another year went by without a playoff win. We know Mike Tomlin will be returning, but what of the roster? How can they build a team that can win games in January?
