The Pittsburgh Steelers have been able to maneuver themselves to be under the projected 2021 NFL salary cap, but that doesn't mean they can stop there.
They're set to lose a ton of players to free agency, and they're going to need as much money as possible. That's why we expect a few more contract restructures to take place.
One of those happened yesterday with Derek Watt restructuring his deal to save $880,000. It doesn't seem like much, but every penny counts.
More restructuring to create salary cap space:
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 10, 2021
— #Saints S Malcolm Jenkins: $3.4M of extra room
— #Saints OL Andrus Peat: $6M
— #Eagles OL Isaac Seumalo: $2.408M
— #Steelers FB Derek Watt: $880K
Defensive lineman Stephon Tuitt, and corners Joe Haden and Steven Nelson could also be receiving extensions or restructures. Those could all come in the next ten days.
