In a salary cap world, it’s never too early to forecast ahead in the NFL.
According to Pro Football Focus’s three-year salary cap analysis that dropped Tuesday using figures from OverTheCap.com, the Steelers have more than $171 million in usable salary cap space between 2022 and 2024. That figure ranks eighth in the NFL. However, with active draft capital, total prorated money, top 51 veteran valuation and 2023 UFA valuation, the Steelers rank 10th overall in the salary cap analysis outlook, meaning the Steelers under new GM Omar Khan will have significant wiggle room in the years ahead with such a young roster, especially offensively.
