The NFL’s annual legal free agency tampering period will get underway on Monday and on Wednesday, the start of the 2024 league year commences. Ahead of all this, I thought late Sunday night would be a great time to project how much cash the Pittsburgh Steelers are likely to spend during free agency this year.
Notice that I indicated cash and not cap. These are two different things. Sure, the Steelers currently have a little more than $25 million in available salary cap space at the time of this post and that’s important. That said, predicting how much cash they will spend this offseason in free agency can help us get a good idea as to how they will manage their cap allocations.
