SCB Steelers Quick Hitters: The “Dissecting DeCastro” Edition

Good Friday to you Steelers fans.

If you’d been paying attention over the last year then the release of Steelers’ perennial Pro Bowl Guard David DeCastro might not be that shocking. That’s exactly what the Black and Gold did yesterday by designating DeCastro as a “non-football injury related” release. The move will save the Steelers about $8.25 million in cap space but also adds over $5 million in dead money. DeCastro was entering the final year of his deal which would have paid him over $14 million. This now means that the entire starting offensive line will be different than the one that ended the 2020 season.
