On the list of the Steelers’ potential salary cap casualties, the name of Cole Holcomb stands out for obvious reasons. He has missed the majority of a three-year contract he signed in 2023, which runs through next season. That includes all of this past year, and they owe him $6 million for the next should they retain him.
Given that they didn’t wait for him—they couldn’t—it seems unlikely the Steelers would sit tight with Cole Holcomb on his current contract. He is due a $2 million roster bonus next month already, unless he agrees to defer it.
