Does Steelers Current Cap Situation Help Diontae Johnson’s Chances At Getting A New Deal Later This Summer?

As Steelers Depot’s very own salary cap wizard Dave Bryan pointed out following the conclusion of mandatory minicamp, the Pittsburgh Steelers currently sit at $20,325,877 under the cap, pending the signing of rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett and the small injury settlement amount hitting for cornerback Bryce Watts. While this looks like a ton of cap space for the Steelers to work with, Dave pointed out that a fair amount of this cap space has already been accounted for the 52nd and 53rd players on the active roster, the signing of the practice squad, and also the in-season cushion of cap space the Steelers have long operated with having at their disposal.
