The Pittsburgh Steelers just parted ways with one of their young, talented cornerbacks — a fan-favorite defender who had a standout rookie season in 2024.

On Monday, the Steelers announced the release of CB Beanie Bishop Jr. from their practice squad — leaving fans wondering what’s in store for Pittsburgh as reports of a Marquez-Valdez Scantling signing run rampant in the Steel City.

Signing with Pittsburgh as an undrafted rookie following the 2024 NFL Draft, Bishop went on to have a stellar debut year in the league, finishing last season with four interceptions, seven passes defended, and 45 combined tackles in 17 games.

Fans clamored for Bishop to see more playing time, starting just six games at slot corner for the Steelers in his rookie season, but it’s only a matter of time until the second-year defensive back finds a new opportunity elsewhere.
