Updating the Steelers’ salary cap situation following Mason Rudolph’s extension

Just before the start of the 2021 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced a one-year extension for backup quarterback Mason Rudolph which keeps him under contract through the 2022 season. Currently the only quarterback with a contract beyond 2021 with the Steelers, they will also have the option of offereing a Restricted Free Agent tender to Dewayne Haskins for next season. But this may be putting the cart before the horse as Haskins must first make the 2021 roster.

Getting back to Rudolph, his one-year extension dropped his 2021 base salary from $1,014,801 to $920k according to overthcap.
