With the Pittsburgh Steelers now being halfway through their 2023 training camp, and on the heels of the team signing veteran inside linebacker Kwon Alexander last week, now is the perfect time to update the team’s salary cap situation ahead of their annual Friday night practice at Latrobe Memorial Stadium.
The signing of Alexander effectively used just $152,500 in available 2023 salary cap space as his contract qualifies as a veteran benefit deal, according to NFL CBA rules. While the team has obviously made several other transactions since training camp got underway, the signing of Alexander is the only move that effectively impacted the real-time Rule of 51 number.
