The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired CB Donte Jackson from the Carolina Panthers when they sent WR Diontae Johnson to Carolina, and Jackson will now slot in as Pittsburgh’s No. 2 corner. Jackson was due to be released by the Panthers due to his cap number, and while the Steelers will absorb some of it, the team will restructure his contract, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“He was going to be released because of his cap number. And the Steelers are going to re-do his deal so he doesn’t count $10.5 million against the cap in 2024.
