Will the steep increase in the salary cap save Patrick Peterson’s job in Pittsburgh?
Like the rest of the league, the Pittsburgh Steelers have more cap space to work with this offseason than the forecast suggested, raising questions about how they use the money. One side effect we might see is some veterans saving their jobs.
With more resources to work with, the Steelers may feel less inclined to part with DB Patrick Peterson, for example. Due nearly $7 million for the 2024 season, he no longer seems equipped for a full-time outside role. He still brings value through his diverse skill set, leadership, and communication, however.
