As the NFL opens the window for the legal tampering period on Monday, the top free agents will have several options while on the market despite the depressed salary cap. Pro Bowl wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster fits into that group.
Smith-Schuster could command north of $16 million annually on a new deal, per Spotrac. That number may exceed the Pittsburgh Steelers' budget. The club has approximately $5.1 million in cap space.
The Athletic's Ed Bouchette believes Smith-Schuster has the experience to lead a young receiving corps, but the demand for him will price the Steelers out of range to re-sign him.
