The Steelers officially released linebacker Jamin Davis, a Washington first-round pick from 2021, on Saturday. But hold up, 12s, because buried in that same transaction report is a name that hits a little closer to home: former Seahawks wide receiver Levi Wentz also got waived.
Tough Breaks for a First-Rounder
Davis didn’t make it past final cuts with the Steelers, another tough break for a guy who was a first-round pick just five years ago. He’s been bouncing around the league since getting cut in 2024 and only managed three tackles in two games for the Raiders last season. Talk about a rough road, right?
That Seahawk Connection
But then there’s Wentz, a guy who landed with our Seahawks after going undrafted out of Kansas. He was waived by the Emerald City squad in June, only to sign with the Steelers a week later, and now he’s on the waiver wire again. It just shows how brutal these final roster cuts are, even for guys who put in the work.
These NFL transaction reports always hit hard, showing just how quickly dreams can get sidelined in this league. Every player fights for their spot, and these moves are a stark reminder of that grind.
