The Pittsburgh Steelers don’t often take big dips into the free agency pool—by and large, that has often been because they can’t, because they don’t have the salary cap room. This year could be different. Steven Nelson in 2019 is the only unrestricted free agent they have ever signed during the primary free agency period to a deal worth more than $6 million per season.
They have signed two others to $6 million APY deals, though. Mark Barron lasted one year into his. Eric Ebron, the former Pro Bowl tight end, finished his out, but not exactly in style.
