Steelers freeing up salary cap space
Mike Wallace - WR - Pittsburgh Steelers
Feb. 10, 2012 - 2:10 PM ET
Per Football Outsiders' Brian McIntyre, the Steelers have freed up over $18 million in cap space since the season ended.
The moves have included cutting CB Bryant McFadden and WR Arnaz Battle, and redoing the contracts of CB Ike Taylor, and LBs Lawrence Timmons and LaMarr Woodley. As of late January, the Steelers were a projected $25M over the cap, so more transactions are coming. They may include releasing WR Hines Ward, NT Casey Hampton, and LG Chris Kemoeatu. The Steelers want to give Mike Wallace a long-term deal rather than try to retain him with a restricted tender.
