Steelers’ Updated 2021 Salary Cap Situation After Melvin Ingram Numbers Made Official

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been busy adjusting their offseason roster this last week and now the smoke is beginning to clear when it comes to the impact those moves had on the teams salary cap situation. On the heels signing outside linebacker Melvin Ingram recently, the official numbers have now been made public after it was initially reported him signing a one-year, $4 million contract. As it turns out, the deal Ingram signed included an additional four voidable years and that resulted in his 2021 salary cap charge being lower than expected. With those reported numbers for Ingram now known, it’s once again a perfect time to update where the team sits from a salary cap perspective for the 2021 season and with training camp now underway, and especially with several other Steelers blogs posting blatant misinformation concerning the topic.
