Ramon Foster a potential NFL cut candidate.

Former University of Tennessee offensive lineman Ramon Foster signed a two-year, $8.25 million contract extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers in March 2019.

The Steelers are reportedly looking to free up salary cap space and Foster could be out in Pittsburgh.

Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA TODAY mentioned the following in regards to Foster being a potential NFL cut candidate.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said keeping outside linebacker Bud Dupree would be a “priority” this offseason, but the roster requires some pruning to facilitate a franchise tag. A reasonable starting point might be saying goodbye to Foster, which would free up $4 million. At 34, he’s the oldest player on the offensive front and might be out of step with the rest of the unit’s youth movement.
