Los Steelers fichan a Robert Tonyan y prescinden de Chamon Metayer

Los Pittsburgh Steelers firmaron al veterano ala cerrada Robert Tonyan con un contrato de un año el 4 de junio. También dieron de baja al agente libre novato no reclutado Chamon Metayer para liberar espacio en la plantilla.

Los movimientos se realizaron durante el minicampamento obligatorio del equipo. Tonyan, de 32 años, se reunió con el mariscal de campo Aaron Rodgers tras haber pasado varias temporadas juntos en Green Bay. El jugador realizó una prueba con Pittsburgh durante los últimos dos días y causó la impresión suficiente para obtener el contrato. Metayer había sido fichado por los Steelers justo después del Draft de la NFL de 2026. El ex ala cerrada de Arizona State registró 38 recepciones para 375 yardas y cuatro touchdowns en su última temporada universitaria. Tonyan competirá por ganar profundidad detrás de Darnell Washington y Pat Freiermuth. La plantilla de los Steelers cuenta ahora con 91 jugadores tras estas transacciones.
