A big offseason for the future of the Pittsburgh Steelers awaits as the franchise sees more than 20 players set to enter free agency, and a number of holes to be plugged in free agency and through the 2023 NFL Draft.
For ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, one way the Steelers can nail the offseason and improve their roster is by releasing a handful of players to open up salary cap space, and then retaining free agent cornerback Cameron Sutton.
According to Barnwell, those players that need to be released by the Steelers include cornerbacks Ahkello Witherspoon and William Jackson III, along with quarterback Mitch Trubisky, opening up roughly $24 million in cap space, which would give the Steelers plenty of room to not only retain Sutton, but be active in free agency in an attempt to add some depth in the trenches.
