Every season, the Pittsburgh Steelers find a way to hold their roster together despite the restraints of an NFL salary cap. But this doesn’t mean every contract decision is the best one. Here are the three worst salary cap hits on the books right now for the Steelers.

Tight end | Vance McDonald $3.827 million

Considering the Steelers signed Eric Ebron as a free agent, I’m a little surprised the Steelers kept McDonald’s $3.827 million on the books for the 2020 season. Mcdonald has 88 receptions in the past two seasons but has never been a consistent part of the Steelers’ offense.
