After re-signing exclusive rights free agent outside linebacker Jamir Jones on Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently an estimated $908,181 over the 2023 NFL salary cap designation and that number includes the annual NFLPA workout bonus placeholder amount being accounted for. And while there are still a cut or three forthcoming between now and March 15, there’s a good chance at some point during the offseason that the Steelers will need to restructure a contract or two to clear even more salary cap space.
On Tuesday, Steelers general manager Omar Khan made the media rounds at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and during his podium session, he was asked if the team will continue to consider “creative” ways during the offseason to clear salary cap space with him now serving as the team’s general manager.
