I recently broke down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ salary cap situation on the offensive side of the ball for 2019. The Steelers currently have a large portion of money tied up in Ben Roethlisberger and their offensive line, while their running backs and receivers are among the cheapest groups in the league. But what about there defense?
We know that the Steelers have missed on several high draft picks. Jarvis Jones never got a second contract, and unless something miraculous happens, Artie Burns won’t get his. Ryan Shazier also suffered his injury before the Steelers gave him a massive extension.
