There is no denying that this offseason will be very tight for the Pittsburgh Steelers in terms of salary cap. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the team has several premiere players who hit the free agency with very little chance of signing them.
The misunderstanding of many fans is that this salary cap faced by Hell of Steelers is somehow the fault of the front office or, worse, however, of the players. Pittsburgh has always managed its business in the same way, the only change this season has been a significant reduction in the salary cap due to the loss of income due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yes, there are some teams with a massive amount of salary space this season, despite the cuts. That would be there no matter what. And in most cases, with only a few exceptions, those teams are not usually competitive. Their property is more concerned with their results, as opposed to victories and losses. On the other hand, you have the Steelers who always spend their cap and push it to the limit. That’s what happens this season, the NFL has moved the gates a little.
Steelmakers have a storm to withstand this season. There is no doubt. However, this is not a problem of their creation. Pittsburgh will continue the restructuring that began with Cam Heyward, develop a new contract for Ben Roethlisberger and continue with the plan. Pittsburgh never comes into force in the first round of free agency and this time will be no different. There will be money for the project and to raise a few mid-level boys after that. Steeler Way.
