The Pittsburgh Steelers now have 89 players under contract for the 2021 offseason. The only player remaining is third-round draft pick Kendrick Green who is yet to sign his rookie deal. With the announcement of Najee Harris and Pat Freiermuth signing their contracts this week, along with numbers finally coming in for the salary for Arthur Maulet, it’s time to update the Steelers’ salary cap space
First, Arthur Maulet is yet another player who qualifies under the veterans salary benefit. Set to make $990k for 2021, only $850k will count towards the salary cap. With Maulet displacing James Pierre out of the top 51 and his cap hit of $783k, he only counts $67k against the salary cap.
