PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers released veteran defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi on Monday, a move that will free up some salary cap space ahead of free agency.
Ogunjobi, the team’s Waler Payton Man of the Year nominee last season, spent three years in Pittsburgh. He finished with a career-low 41 tackles in 2024 and had just 1 1/2 sacks, tied for the fewest since his rookie year with Cleveland in 2017.
The 30-year-old Ogunjobi had one year left on his current deal with the Steelers. He was scheduled to earn a $4.75 million roster bonus if he was on the team on Friday. The decision to cut Ogunjobi will create around $7 million in cap space.
The Steelers also tendered a contract to running back Jaylen Warren. Warren is scheduled to become a restricted free agent. Warren has been a pleasant surprise since making the team as an undrafted rookie in 2022. Warren has rushed for 1,674 yards and six touchdowns in three years. He’s also caught 127 passes for 894 yards.
Warren could take on a larger role in the Pittsburgh offense next season with Najee Harris, who has topped 1,000 yards in each of his four seasons, set to become a free agent.
The Steelers also re-signed veteran center Ryan McCollum to a one-year deal.
