Behind the Steel Curtain on Michael Pittman

Pittman's $24M+ annual cap hit may force Steelers to move on despite dead cap penalty.

The source references Michael Pittman Jr. in the context of the Steelers' potential trade decisions, noting that the team might already be regretting giving him a contract extension with cap hits north of $24 million each of the next two years. The source suggests it will be fascinating to see if the Steelers decide to bail after this season and eat the $15 million in dead cap. This context is used to explain why acquiring Ladd McConkey would force the Steelers to move on from Pittman sooner than planned.
