The Pittsburgh Steelers made another significant transaction on Monday and that was the signing of free agent outside linebacker Melvin Ingram. On Tuesday, the team also announced the signing of free agent tackle Chaz Green to a one-year deal as well in addition to making the Ingram one-year signing official. On the heels of those two moves, it’s a perfect time to update where the team sits from a salary cap perspective for the 2021 season and with training camp about to start, and especially with several other Steelers blogs posting blatant misinformation in the last 12 hours.
For starters, we will assume that Ingram’s cap charge for 2021 is $4 million as it has been reported that his one-year contract totals out at that amount.
