The Pittsburgh Steelers are releasing veteran DL Dean Lowry on Sunday as they cut their roster down to the 53-player limit, according to Jeremy Fowler.

Lowry, 31, is a former fourth-round pick of the Packers back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.723 million contract and set to make a base salary of $720,000 for the 2019 season when he signed a three-year, $20.325 million extension.

The Vikings then signed Lowry to a two-year, $8.5 million deal as an unrestricted free agent back in 2023. Minnesota cut him loose the following offseason, and he caught on with the Steelers to a two-year, $5 million deal. 

Pittsburgh re-signed Lowry to a new deal this past May. 

In 2024, Lowry appeared in 12 games for the Steelers and recorded five tackles, one sack and one pass defense.
