The Pittsburgh Steelers have been very busy conducting business this week as they negotiate their salaries in order to get under the NFL salary cap. After using almost $16 million to use the franchise tag on Bud Dupree and since they were already about $3 million over the cap, the Steelers cleared about $15 million by releasing Anthony Chickillo, Mark Barron, and Johnny Holton along with the retirement of Ramon Foster. In order for the Steelers to finish getting under the salary cap along with having the opportunity to offer any restricted free agent tenders, more moves needed to be made.
