We’ll keep track of today’s minor moves in this post. In addition to the transactions listed below, note that Broncos DT Joel Heath and Giants CB Shakial Taylor, who had previously been listed as cut, actually opted out of the 2020 season.

Steelers Sign 10 UDFAs
The same night the draft ended, the Steelers officially announced their initial 10-man undrafted free agent class:
- FB Spencer Nigh (Auburn)
- OG Christian Montano (Tulane)
- DB Trajan Bandy (Miami (Fla.))
- DB James Pierre (Florida Atlantic)
- LB James Lockhart (Baylor)
- LB Leo Lewis (Mississippi State)
- LB John Houston (Southern California)
- DE Josiah Coatney (Mississippi)
- DE Calvin Taylor (Kentucky)
- P Corliss Waitman (South Alabama/Mississippi State)
Pittsburgh went very heavy on defense. None of these guys are huge name, although a few are notable. Lewis was a four-year starter in the SEC which is always impressive, and Houston was a team captain at USC.
