The Pittsburgh Steelers signed TE MyCole Pruitt to a one-year contract worth just $1.26 million, consisting of a $1.21 million base salary and a possible $50,000 roster bonus. This deal is a veteran benefit contract with no guaranteed money or signing bonus.
Under the Steelers' 2024 salary cap, only $985,000 of Pruitt's base salary will count. His possible roster bonus of $50,000 is also considered likely to be earned and will be included in the cap calculations.
Pruitt, a veteran tight end, joins the Steelers' roster with an extensive NFL career that includes stints with multiple teams since being drafted in the fifth round by the Minnesota Vikings in 2015.
With Pruitt's signing, the Steelers now have $12,075,998 available under the cap with their 2024 Rule of 51 amount, indicating a strategic use of salary cap space for the team.
