Will the Pittsburgh Steelers restricted tender tackle Zach Banner at an original-round level prior to the start of the new league year? That has been the expectations for a while now but to date there’s been no reports that has happened. Additionally, a Monday morning tweet from Banner could easily lead one to believe that Banner might not get restricted tendered prior to the deadline.
A low original round restricted tender for Banner would cost the Steelers roughly $2.144 million and would virtually guarantee he remains in Pittsburgh for at least the 2020 season as no team would likely give up a fourth-round selection in this year’s draft to sign him away.
