The release of center Mason Cole was confirmed by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday. Pittsburgh will save $4.75 million as a result of

the cost-cutting measure, which includes Cole’s $3.25 million 2024 salary and a $1.5 million roster bonus. The Steelers were only

$8.47 million under the salary cap as of Friday. Cole, who turns 28 next month, spent his two seasons with the Steelers starting all 34

games in the regular season and one in the postseason. After the 2021 season, Cole became an unrestricted free agency and signed a

three-year, $15.75 million contract with Pittsburgh. He played three seasons with the Arizona Cardinals after being selected in the

third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Cole was a member of the Minnesota Vikings prior to his release as a free agency in 2021.

roster adjustments. Mason Cole, the starting center for the last two seasons, has been informed by the team that he will be dismissed.

The Pittsburgh Steelers now have $4.75 million in cap space, which might be fascinating for the team in the future. The team appears

to be looking for a player who can be a little bit more reliable on the field than Mason Cole did. It seems that Cole was a seasoned

player in the locker room who was well-liked by his colleagues; yet, the NFL’s business model presents challenges.
