The Pittsburgh Steelers announced that they have released center Mason Cole via their X account Friday.
Cole started at center the last two seasons for the Steelers after signing a three-year contract in March of 2022. After a serviceable first season, Cole’s problems were apparent in 2023. His struggles to adequately snap the ball often left Steelers fans in dismay. The front office in Pittsburgh clearly felt the same.
Cole was set to make $6.2 million in the final year of his contract in 2024. His release will save the black and gold $4.75 million per Over the Cap.
