The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t receive any compensatory draft picks this offseason, but even before this year’s free agency period gets underway, the early speculation is that they will potentially be awarded something a little less than a year from now.
Nick Korte, the compensatory formula wizard of Over the Cap, recently did a breakdown of each NFL team’s 2020 compensatory pick potential and he has the Steelers listed as “High.”
“This will finally be the year that Le’Veon Bell hits the open market. With the Steelers choosing not to trade him earlier, all that’s left now for possible compensation in return is a 3rd round comp pick,” Korte writes.
