The Pittsburgh Steelers recently released WR Hakeem Butler from the team’s Reserve/Injured list with an injury settlement. Thanks to a recent NFLPA update, we now know the amount.
According to the NFLPA salary cap page update page, Butler received an injury settlement in the amount of $52,778. That will count against the Steelers’ 2023 salary cap just like dead money would.
Butler was first waived as injured by the Steelers on Aug. 21, and after clearing waivers, he reverted to the team’s Reserve/Injured list with a split salary amount of $475,000.
