Earlier this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers and linebacker Cole Holcomb agreed to a revised contract. This frees up about $4 million in cap space but it also raises a few questions regarding Holcomb’s future in Pittsburgh as well as that of Elandon Roberts.
The move by Omar Khan means that they added void years to Holcomb’s contract. Which means that $4M hits the cap next year when it voids. The bigger issue here in my mind is that Holcomb has never played a full season in his career. He’s missed 36 games over the last three seasons including all 17 last year.
