The Steelers will have money to spend during the 2022 offseason and they could pay some major bucks in free agency.

It is going to be a very interesting offseason for the Steelers when this upcoming season ends. They are projected to have a little over $75 million in cap space during this upcoming offseason according to overthecap.com. That is some ridiculous spending money to have when free agency comes to play. The black and gold will re-sign many top players like T.J. Watt and company before the free agency process begins, so that cap space will come down some.

Even after those signings, this team will have a lot of spending money when the time comes. It is still unknown how players and the team will shake out this season. Some players may play above or below expectations so different free agents could be targeted accordingly. For instance, if Ben Roethlisberger plays well then he could always be re-signed and brought back for another season or more.

All of these free agents should be taken with a grain of salt as some might even re-sign with their current teams. Each one is scheduled to become a free agent after the season and this article could change with time as players go to training camp. That is where a majority of extensions are made for these players.

Some honorable mentions are Jameis Winston, Tyrod Taylor, Haason Reddick, and Brandon Scherff. Each player has some connection to the team no matter if it’s where their hometown is located or prior rumors with a connection to Pittsburgh. They all have a potential fit with this team as the franchise looks to 2022.
