The Pittsburgh Steelers have inked their entire rookie class, and their cap space situation is still sparkling. Without Aaron Rodgers signed on board, the team has lots of space to make a move, and even if he does sign, they should have room.
According to OverTheCap.com, the Steelers still have around $33 million in cap space after the rookies have signed on board. The Steelers still need room for their practice squad and emergency use in the future, but with that in mind, the team should still have
Considering everything, the Steelers still have around $21 million in functional cap space, which is more than enough to ink Rodgers and even sign a wide receiver like Keenan Allen or Amari Cooper if they went that route.
If Rodgers is being honest about telling teams he would pay for $10 million like he did on the Pat McAfee Show, then the Steelers will not have to move much around at all to sign him.
The Steelers could clear more cap space by signing T.J. Watt to an extension. Either way, the team remains in a strong position to make moves this season and fill the two biggest holes on the roster.
If Rodgers truly does sign for only $10 million, the Steelers have around $11 million to work with to sign a wide receiver, and a litany of other ways to move around money, including some potential restructures, to add room if they wanted to sign someone.
