Sensabaugh’s salary cap charge in 2017 will be $987,500.00 if he makes the Steelers final 53-man roaster this year.
The Steelers effectively used only $447,500 of their available salary cap space to sign Sensabaugh.
Sensabaugh was originally drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2012 and after his first four years in the league with them he signed a three-year free agent contract with the Los Angeles Rams last March. The Rams decided to part ways with Sensabaugh last October and the Clemson product quickly signed with the New York Giants and finished out the season with them.
