It’s almost been two full weeks since I released my initial lookahead at the 2024 salary cap situation of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since then, the team has added five more players to their offseason roster via Reserve/Future contracts. While those five additions didn’t move the cap space needle much, they still moved it some, nonetheless.
Currently, the Steelers Rule of 51 number sits at $262,410,678. That’s an increase of $390,000 thanks to the five recent Reserve/Future signings the team made. Based on an estimated 2024 salary cap amount of $242.5 million and with the team still expected to roll over $2,340,191 in unused 2023 salary cap space, that puts them at an estimated $17,570,487 over the cap as we look ahead to the start of the 2024 NFL league year in March.
