Sure is looking like the season is going to be delayed. Apparently still negotiating the TV deals. No final cap announced yet and tomorrow is the deadline to franchise tag. Not sure how a team can do that without knowing the cap (unless they have been blessed with a lot of cap space).

our second free agent re-signed:
Marcus Allen signs exclusive rights tender with Steelers
The safety-turned-linebacker returns to the Steelers for 2021

Exclusive rights free agent Marcus Allen has signed his tender with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2021 season.
Allen was drafted in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL draft out of Penn State. Spending all but two games on the inactive list his rookie season, Allen did not make the team in 2019 and was signed to the Steelers practice squad. Elevated to the 53-man roster at the end of the season, Allen transitioned to the linebacker position during the 2020 offseason. The shift saw Allen appear in 14 games in 2020 while starting two. On the season, Allen had 30 tackles, two of which were for loss, and two quarterback hits.
For those wondering how exclusive rights tenders works, the player has no negotiating power and is strictly at the mercy of the team if they choose to retain them. The contract is for one season and is at the NFL league minimum salary.
Exclusive rights free agent J.C. Hassenauer previously signed his tender last week. The only remaining exclusive rights free agent for the Steelers for 2021 is linebacker Robert Spillane.
