Steelers to release WR Gunner Olszewski

According to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero, the Pittsburgh Steelers are planning to release wide receiver/kick returner Gunner Olszewski.The Steelers signed Olszewski ahead of the 2022 season after he spent his first three years with the New England Patriots.

Olszewski was a first-team All-Pro in 2020 as a return man but never found a place with the Steelers. He never broke out as a return man and offered almost nothing on offense. Olszewski only has 15 career receptions despite Pittsburgh’s insistence on getting him on the field.

The Steelers are working to get running back Anthony McFarland Jr. back onto the field and he should provide some punch as a return man. Wide receiver Diontae Johnson is also coming back from IR so Olszewski wasn’t going to see much of the field.
