The Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran CB Anthony Averett to a one-year contract after he participated in the team’s rookie minicamp as a tryout player and finally the details related to that deal have surfaced. The numbers are as expected as it is a veteran benefit deal, according to the NFLPA.
Averett’s deal totals out at $1.125 million and that’s his minimum base salary as well as he did not receive any sort of signing bonus as part of his contract.
As a veteran benefit contract, only $985,000 of Averett’s base salary will count against the Steelers’ 2024 salary cap.
