Steelers Currently Projected To Get 4th- And 6th-Round Compensatory Picks, Could Earn Another In 6th For Matakevich

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost more in free agency than they normally do this past year. The question is what they will get for it all. At the moment, Over the Cap is projecting that they will receive a fourth-round compensatory pick for the three-year, $39 million contract signed by defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, and a sixth-round pick for the loss of lineman B.J. Finney, who is now on the Cincinnati Bengals after being traded by the Seattle Seahawks.

According to Nick Korte, however, there is a chance that they could still qualify for another sixth-round compensatory pick for the loss of Tyler Matakevich, who signed with the Buffalo Bills, whom the Steelers will be playing in a few weeks.
