Jason Fitzgerald over at Over the Cap, arguably the best website for contract and cap information, is releasing his grades for the deals handed out during the 2019 offseason. With numbers known for the Steven Nelson signing and Maurkice Pouncey extension, Fitzgerald weighed in with his thoughts on how good of a deal the Pittsburgh Steelers got.
He praised the Steelers for getting the Pouncey deal done for relatively cheap, especially before the center market was reset. From OTC:
“I think this was a shrewd move by the Steelers who may have been worried about what Matt Paradis could land in free agency this week and knew they wanted to make Pouncey the highest paid center in the NFL.
