Updating the Steelers salary cap situation after the retirement of Maurkice Pouncey

Obviously there is no intent of disrespect to the players announcing their retirement following the 2020 NFL season, but one of the results of both Vance McDonald and Maurkice Pouncey deciding to call it a career in Pittsburgh is some relief in regards to the Steelers 2021 salary cap situation. In case you haven’t heard, the Pittsburgh Steelers are needing to make some tough decisions as they are well over the projected salary cap for this coming season. Exactly what the cap will be is only a projection at this time as the NFL has not announced the number needed for teams to be under with their top 51 salaries on March 17.
