Explaining Where Antonio Brown’s Freed Up 2020 Cap Charges Went

I still get quite a few questions during a month concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers and them trading away wide receiver Antonio Brown back in March. Obviously, most of the questions I get on this topic are related to how the trade of Brown impacted the Steelers salary cap situation not only in 2019, but in 2020 as well.

On Thursday, I took a look ahead at the Steelers 2020 salary cap situation and since then I’ve once again been flooded with questions concerning Brown’s dead money. The questions mostly revolve people thinking the Steelers would have more cap space to work with in 2020 due to Brown’s contract being completely off the books.
