The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the offseason with two players, wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud and outside linebacker Olasunkanmi Adeniyi, set to become restricted free agents and thus could’ve tendered both at low levels and thus ensured them being retained. Dur to salary cap space needs, however, the Steelers chose not to restricted tender either. One of the two, McCloud, has already signed a one-year, $1 million contract to stay in Pittsburgh. The other, Adeniyi, looks poised to test free agency.
