Player: Mike Hilton
Position: Cornerback
Experience: 3
Free Agent Status: Restricted
2019 Salary Cap Hit: $645,000
2019 Season Breakdown:
If Matt Feiler is not the most significant of the Steelers’ restricted free agents this offseason (I would argue that he is), then it would have to be three-year veteran cornerback Mike Hilton, who is the starting nickel cornerback on the defense.
A former undrafted free agent, Hilton bounced around as a rookie, but latched on to the Steelers’ practice squad by the end of the 2017 season.
