When Melvin Ingram III was officially signed to the Steelers last Tuesday, I did a salary cap update involving his reported $4 million salary. Within that update, I made sure I used the statement, “Assuming this is the salary cap number for Ingram and there is nothing else included in the deal (such as void years)...” It’s a good thing I did.
According to overthecap.com, Ingram’s $4 million deal for one season also includes four void years in order to reduce his salary cap number for 2021. Ingram will receive a base salary of $1.
