4 Potential Destinations for Former Steelers Third Rounder After Release

November 7, 2025 by Last Word On Pro Football

In a sudden move, the Pittsburgh Steelers are moving on from former third-round bust defensive lineman Demarvin Leal. According to reports, the team is moving after just bringing him back to the practice squad this year, since waiving him at the end of the preseason, and his latest release might be his last with the Steelers. Originally selected as a 2022 draft pick, the former Texas A&M product was hopeful to carve a name for himself with the team, but injuries and inefficiency caught up to him. While he did get some opportunities this season to play, it wasn’t enough for him to shine to show his capabilities.

Leal had high expectations, and now he hopes that he can meet them elsewhere. It’s hard to see if a team will give an opportunity, but nothing is impossible at the right price. No one is saying that he will be a prime Nnamdi Madubuike or Micah Parsons, but he should receive some type of interest for a situational role. The defensive lineman is a healthy scratch, and while he may join the practice again for the Steelers, these four teams could easily intervene and claim off waivers.
