With the Pittsburgh Steelers freeing up cap space following Tuesday’s extension with DL Cam Heyward and the team unlikely to use it all back on a likely extension with TE Pat Freiermuth, what could the team do with that extra money? They could roll it over into next year, they could use it on another player like RB Najee Harris, or they could wait and make an aggressive in-season move for a wide receiver.
Denver’s Courtland Sutton and San Francisco’s Deebo Samuel are two names who could get mentioned this fall. While those odds were never high, the last 48 hours makes it even more unlikely.
