The Pittsburgh Steelers officially announced the singing of cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon to a two-year contract on Friday and with that, we now have a real good picture of where the team currently sits at from a salary cap perspective.
While the exact numbers of the Witherspoon deal aren’t yet available, the deal is reported to total out at $8 million. Because of that, it’s a good bet that Witherspoon’s contract looks exactly like the one that cornerback Levi Wallace signed with the team. That’s the assumption I am rolling with until I hear otherwise. Wetherspoon’s contract isn’t likely to hit the NFLPA until Monday or Tuesday.
