The Pittsburgh Steelers now have kicker Chris Boswell signed to a long-term extension that results in his being the highest-paid player in the NFL at his position. On the heels of that signing, early details related to Boswell’s extension have surfaced and with those, below is a projected look at the team’s 2022 salary cap situation as we sit here on Tuesday.
As I reported on Monday, Boswell’s extension should result in the kicker having a new 2022 salary cap charge of $5,043,334. That is an increase of $95,000 from what it was originally scheduled to be.
