The Pittsburgh Steelers are now starting their preparation for the upcoming 2016 NFL season, and when the 2015 NFL calendar comes to its conclusion following Super Bowl 50, several members of the current team will be without a home.
Here at BTSC we are going to start our barrage of free agency discussion next Monday, January 25th, where we will break down free agents by position, discuss salary cap implications and give our prediction on whether players will stay or go.
See below for the complete list of free agents for the Steelers heading into 2016, as well as their current salary per year. This chart is courtesy of OverTheCap.com.
It should be noted Chris Hubbard and Roosevelt Nix, both Exclusive Rights Free Agents (ERFA) have signed a new deal with the team recently.
