The speculation of the NFL’s 2021 salary cap has been going on for months. On Wednesday, teams were finally informed of the $182.5 million cap for this coming season. Teams now have a week to make sure they are salary cap compliant for the start of the new league year at 4 PM on March 17. So where do the Steelers currently stand with the 2021 salary cap? Just a few weeks ago, the Steelers were well above $182.5 million. But now, the Steelers are a little more than $6 million under the salary cap. How did they get there? First, the Steelers had almost $5 million in rollover from 2020. Next, between the retirements a Vance McDonald and Maurkice Pouncey, the restructures of Cameron Heyward and Derek Watt, and the new contract for Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers have moved around $41 million in the right direction.
