They also lost starting Guard Matt Feiler, OT Alejandro Villanueva, and DB Mike Hilton to free agency because they could not afford to re-sign them.
Lack of cap space took down the Steelers.
They still made the playoffs with a QB who couldn't throw the football, literally just .5 wins behind the Bengals for division lead.
People had been saying for at least a decade "oh, they're just kicking the can down the road, they'll have to pay for it eventually!" when the Steelers moved contract money around to make cap space... yet they still haven't had a losing season since 2003.
Worry about getting better now, not what may or may not happen 3 years later.
