Source: Steelers claim WR Thielen, cut CB Slay
"The Minnesota Vikings waived Thielen, 35, on Monday to allow him to find a bigger role in what he said will be his final NFL season. In 11 games this season, Thielen caught eight passes for 69 yards. He had a 1,000-yard season as recently as 2023, when he had 1,014 yards on 103 receptions for the Panthers. He has 693 catches for 8,380 yards and 64 touchdowns in 12 seasons."
"The Steelers claimed wide receiver Adam Thielen off waivers Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, and waived veteran cornerback Darius Slay. Slay and the Steelers have agreed to mutually part ways, the cornerback's agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey, told Schefter on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the Steelers are signing cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. to the active roster from the practice squad, a source told ESPN."
