Between now and March 18, the Pittsburgh Steelers have several important decisions that need to be made, which will shape what their 53 (or 55)-man roster will look like in 2020. Many of those important decisions pertain to whether or not certain veterans, among them starters, will be salary cap casualties.
The most universally agreed-upon player for release appears to be Anthony Chickillo, a sixth-year veteran backup outside linebacker who signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the team last offseason. Letting him go would clear $5 million off of the salary cap, and would help the team afford retaining Bud Dupree, their starter at the position.
