It’s no secret that the Steelers are in a bit of a financial bind. After restructuring several contracts to create cap space to sign players like Eric Ebron and Stephen Wisniewski, Pittsburgh is left with just $5.7 million to go around, according to Over the Cap.

T.J. Watt is clearly at the forefront of this list.
