Talk to anyone who follows the Pittsburgh Steelers, and has a general understanding of their salary cap situation heading into the 2019 season, and they will tell you the team has options to free up some more space.
Sure, Le’Veon Bell’s $14.5 million roll over will help, but the team could also take their biggest cap hit contract, owned by Ben Roethlisberger, and re-do the contract to free up even more space in 2019.
Sounds reasonable, right? After all, Roethlisberger is entering the final year of his contract, which is when the team usually negotiates new contracts with their players, and has shown he can still play at a high level.
