Steelers waive tight end Chamon Metayer after signing veterans Tonyan and Davis
Summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers have waived undrafted rookie tight end Chamon Metayer following the signings of linebacker Jamin Davis and tight end Robert Tonyan to one-year contracts. This roster move comes after the team conducted successful tryouts for Davis and Tonyan, both of whom provide veteran experience. Metayer, who initially signed with the Steelers on April 27, 2026, had a successful collegiate career with 971 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. However, the addition of Tonyan significantly diminished Metayer's chances of making the final roster. The Steelers continue to adjust their lineup during the offseason.
