In an effort to be cap-compliant by the start of the 2020 NFL league year on Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers cut wide receiver Johnny Holton.
Holton was signed as a free agent after spending the 2019 offseason with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was previously with the Oakland Raiders from 2016-2018.
In 16 games (three starts), Holton had just three receptions for 21 yards and returned three kickoffs for 55 yards.
According to Over the Cap, Holton’s release saves the Steelers $825,000 in cap space.
