The Pittsburgh Steelers have tendered LB Robert Spillane, according to ESPN’s Brooke Pryor. Spillane, a restricted free agent, has been tendered at the right-of-first-refusal level. Here is Pryor’s tweet breaking the news moments ago.
The right-of-first-refusal tender puts Spillane’s 2022 base salary at $2.433 million. It does not come with any guaranteed money. It is the lowest tender the team could’ve placed on him but because he was an undrafted player, the original round tender wouldn’t have brought any compensation.
Spillane once again made the Steelers roster in 2021 as a backup behind starting inside linebackers Devin Bush and Joe Schobert.
