Steelers Cut DE DeMarvin Leal

Leal, 25, was a three-year starter at Texas A&M and earned second-team All-American and first-team All-SEC in 2021. He was selected with the No. 84 overall pick in the third round by the Steelers. 

He was entering the final year of a four-year, $5.2 million rookie contract when Pittsburgh cut him loose coming out of this year’s preseason. He re-signed to the practice squad and was promoted in September. 

In 2025, Leal has appeared in three games for the Steelers and recorded two tackles.
