As expected the Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Monday that they have made restricted tender offers to six of their seven restricted free agent players. Those restricted tenders were made to wide receiver Mike Wallace, cornerback Keenan Lewis, safety Ryan Mundy, tight end David Johnson, guard Doug Legursky and guard Ramon Foster. Tackle Jamon Meredith did…
The NFL announced Sunday the Salary Cap for the 2012 season is $ 120.6 million, up $ 225,000 from last season. All 32 teams must be under that mark by 4 p.m. ET Tuesday, which is the beginning of the unrestricted free agency period. Several releases and contract restructures by the Steelers and multiple players…
How about a thousand heartthrobs instead of a thousand pounds in the first three rounds? This is the third season I have done mock drafts for the Steelers, and I’m pumped. This is an extremely deep draft in the type of talent I’m looking for. And what type of talent are we talking about? I’m…
Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk posted the latest updated cap numbers of all 32 teams on Sunday and shows the Pittsburgh Steelers as being $ 10.5 million under the cap.

*** Discuss this article and more at our Pittsburgh Steelers forum *** The Steelers made it official yesterday releasing James Farrior, Hines Ward, Aaron Smith and Chris Kemoeatu. The four veterans are free to go and negotiate with other teams. Chris Kemoeatu has already started. His agent has been in contact with three teams. Aaron Smith…
I feel like today is a good day to put out free agent fire before it gets started, just like I did at this same time last year with Tiki Barber. This year it is another former New York Giants running back that will have at least half of Steeler Nation frothing at the mouth…
By Cian Fahey It is unlikely that Mike Wallace leaves the Pittsburgh Steelers when free agency begins next week but the chance remains as Wallace is a restricted free agent (breaking news I know). In my mind, there are two teams who could likely make a run at Wallace. Those teams are the New England…
