Contract Details For New Steelers QB Zach Mettenberger

Have you gotten over the shock of the Pittsburgh Steelers claiming quarterback Zach Mettenberger off of waivers from the San Diego Chargers on Wednesday? If so, here are the contract details related to the transaction.

Being as Mettenberger was claimed off waivers, the Steelers will assume what remains on the original contract he signed with the Tennessee Titans in 2014. That means he’ll earn $600,000 in 2016 and $690,000 in 2017 should he still be on the roster. Being as no prorated signing bonus money is involved, those amounts will also represent Mettenberger’s cap charges in both of those years.
