The Pittsburgh Steelers desperately need to clear up some salary cap space. The good news is the Steelers’ front office is quite familiar with the situation. It happens to be a yearly occurrence for a team filled with superstar players. You have a roster built around the Killer B’s and other Pro Bowl level players scattered throughout the lineup.
One simple truth always stands out: it costs money to ride the train.
Big time players demand big time salaries. The Steelers organization has had a reputation for a long time of being ultra conservative, refusing to overpay for talent which could damage the team’s chances to remain competitive moving forward.
