A former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback-wide receiver hybrid has found a new home after his untimely release from the Steel City brand of football.
According to the UFL Communications Department’s X account, ex-Steelers QB/WR John Rhys Plumlee signed with the Houston Gamblers following their Week 6 loss to the Columbus Aviators.
In April 2024, Plumlee signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent and spent the offseason with Pittsburgh before being waived in August 2024. He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars‘ practice squad shortly after but was released in November 2024.
Plumlee signed with the Seattle Seahawks‘ practice squad one week later and would eventually be signed to the active roster as a wide receiver. In August 2025, he was waived by Seattle with an injury designation as a part of final roster cuts.
