The Pittsburgh Steelers had no need to use a franchise or transition tag on any of their prospective unrestricted free agents this offseason. Additionally, they had no need for restricted tenders either.
According to the NFL on Wednesday, the Steelers did not issue restricted free agent tenders to long snapper Christian Kuntz, linebacker Chapelle Russell, or defensive lineman Renell Wren. Had they done so, any issued would have likely been Right of First Refusal tenders, the lowest-level tender, which is a one-year contract worth $2.985 million for 2024.
The three players in this category may sign a player contract with any club without any penalty or restriction, including but not limited to draft-choice compensation between clubs or first refusal rights of any kind or any signing period.
