Ian Rapoport reports that the Steelers are waiving QB Landry Jones on Saturday as they trim their roster down to 53 players.
Jones, 28, is a former fourth-round pick by the Steelers in the 2013 NFL Draft. He finished the final year of his four-year rookie contract and re-signed with Pittsburgh to a two-year contract last offseason.
According to OverTheCap.com, the Steelers free up $1,900,000 in cap space while creating $300,000 in dead money by releasing Jones.
In 2017, Jones appeared in three games for the Steelers and recorded 23 completions on 28 attempts (82.1 percent) for 239 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception.
