Steelers Cut S Rayshawn Jenkins

Safety has been a sore spot for Pittsburgh this season and Jenkins has unfortunately been part of the problem. 

Jenkins, 32, is a former fourth-round pick of the Chargers back in 2017 out of Miami. He played out the final year of his four-year, $3.06 million rookie contract that included a $662,212 signing bonus.

Jenkins was testing the free agent market for the first time in his NFL career when he signed a four-year, $35 million deal with the Jaguars. 

He was entering the final year of that deal and set to make a base salary of $8 million in 2024 when he was let go, joining the Seahawks ahead of the 2024 season.

Jenkins was set to make a base salary of $4.89 million in 2025 with a cap number of $7.78 million when Seattle released him. He caught on with the Browns on a one-year contract for the 2025 season. 

The Steelers signed Jenkins back in August. 

In 2025, Jenkins appeared in six games for the Steelers and recorded 16 total tackles.
