Cardinals land TE Kenny Yeboah as Steelers shuffle depth in minor moves

The Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers each made a series of minor roster moves that could matter most in training-camp competition, where depth and special-teams roles often decide who sticks. According to Pro Football Rumors, Arizona signed tight end Kenny Yeboah to a one-year deal and waived linebacker Stephen Dix Jr. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, added receiver Joaquin Davis and defensive back Daryl Porter, and released long snapper Cal Adomitis and offensive tackle Aiden Williams.

Yeboah, a veteran tight end who originally entered the league as an undrafted free agent from Ole Miss, spent his first four NFL seasons with the New York Jets. In that stretch, Pro Football Rumors reports he appeared in 33 games and made two starts. His usage profile leaned heavily toward blocking and special teams, with occasional involvement in the passing game. The Jets’ final line on his production, as summarized by Pro Football Rumors, was nine catches for 111 yards and one touchdown.

From the Cardinals’ perspective, signing Yeboah looks like an attempt to bring in a known quantity for the low-to-mid tiers of the tight end and special-teams rotation. Teams often treat this type of deal as a “compete and contribute” opportunity rather than a guarantee of a featured offensive role. Even when a player’s receiving numbers are modest, reliability as a blocker and readiness to handle punt and kickoff duties can create a path to playing time.

Pittsburgh’s set of moves also fits that depth-building theme. Pro Football Rumors reports that the Steelers signed receiver Joaquin Davis and defensive back Daryl Porter. The exact form of how either player fits is not described in the account, but adding to the receiver and defensive back groups typically points toward summer roster battles, practice-squad fit, and special-teams possibilities.

The departures on Pittsburgh’s side underline how narrow those margins can be. Pro Football Rumors reports the Steelers released long snapper Cal Adomitis and offensive tackle Aiden Williams. Changes at long snapper often report a preference for a different technique, timing, or reliability during live snaps, even if the change does not reflect a major, headline-level issue. Similarly, moving on from an offensive tackle can reflect a desire to adjust the swing-tackle and practice-depth mix heading into the next offseason cycle.

It is worth emphasizing that these are characterized as “minor transactions” and are not the kind of moves that directly confirm a starting lineup. Still, the roster churn can affect how teams allocate reps in minicamp and training camp, and it can shape which players have the clearest road to Week 1 roster spots. The next practical question is whether Yeboah can carve out a consistent role for Arizona in blocking and special teams, and whether Pittsburgh’s additions become immediate candidates on special teams or in pass-game packages during early installation.

Finally, because this report comes from a transactions roundup rather than a league-issued or team-issued announcement in the materials provided here, readers should expect some details to be clarified later through official team roster updates. Until the Cardinals and Steelers post corresponding moves on their official transaction logs, the specific contractual terms and immediate depth-chart placement should be treated as preliminary.
