The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of many teams in the NFL who are looking at a grave salary cap situation entering the 2021 season. If the salary cap were to steadily increase, like it has for over a decade, the Steelers would be just fine. Sure, there would be changes to the roster, but nothing which would cripple the team’s roster/decision making ability.
Nonetheless, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NFL is looking at a very uneasy salary cap situation this offseason. With hardly any fans in seats this past season, and TV deals due to renew, the NFL and NFLPA agreed to a salary cap floor of $175 million dollars in 2021.
