The Pittsburgh Steelers created more salary cap space for the 2021 season by reworking the contract of tight end Eric Ebron, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN.
Ebron was due a roster bonus of $500,000 on March 22 and a base salary of $5.5 million for the 2021 season. While we do not yet know the specifics, it looks like the Steelers apparently turned that $500,000 roster bonus and all but $1.075 million of the $5.5 million of Ebron’s base salary into a signing bonus and added four voidable years to the deal. Such a move would clear $3.94 million in 2021 salary cap space if that is the case.
We should find out the specifics on this Ebron contract reworking soon. In the meantime, however, the Steelers have $3.9 million in salary cap space to work with.
