The 2023 NFL Draft weekend has now culminated and during it the Pittsburgh Steelers added three new cornerbacks to their roster with two of them being draft picks in Joey Porter Jr. and Cory Trice Jr. Additionally, the team signed free agent cornerback Chandon Sullivan on Saturday as well. With those new cornerback additions this past weekend, the room now balloons to 11 in total and that could mean one might not be on the roster much longer. That one might just be veteran cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon.
While Witherspoon certainly could stay on the Steelers roster through the start of OTAs a few weeks from now, his $4 million salary that he’s scheduled to earn in 2023 might wind up hurting his chances some of doing so.
