It is a name the most Steelers fans are not familiar with much like many of the behind-the-scenes front office personnel. With an official title of Football Administration Coordinator, Samir Suleiman’s main responsibilities with the Steelers over the last seven seasons was dealing with managing the salary cap, player contract negotiations, and other team logistics. Unfortunately, Suleiman has now moved on as he’s taking a position with the Carolina Panthers according to Ed Bouchette of The Athletic.
With the 2020 season being one in which the Steelers will need to work some magic with their salary cap situation, it is unfortunate that the Steelers have lost one of their pieces they’ve become familiar with over the last several seasons.
