The day was Friday, September 27, 2019. This was the day where Donte Moncrief’s future with the Steelers was sealed. It just took an additional 37 days until it became official.
When the Philadelphia Eagles released L.J. Fort in September, the Steelers were no longer in line for a compensatory draft pick for the 2020 draft. The way the compensatory formula works is a team must lose more eligible players to free agency than what it gains. These players must stay with their new team through Week 10 of the ensuing NFL season.
