The Pittsburgh Steelers introduced Friday that they released core Mason Cole.
The cost-cutting cross saves Pittsburgh $4.75 million — Cole’s $3.25 million income for 2024 and a $1.5 million roster bonus. The Steelers started Friday simply $8.47 million below the income cap.
Cole, who turns 28 next month, began all 34 regular-season video games plus one playoff recreation throughout his two seasons with the Steelers.
Cole joined Pittsburgh as an unrestricted free agent following the 2021 season and acquired a three-year, $15.75 million deal.
He was a 2018 third-round draft select with the aid of the Arizona Cardinals and spent three seasons with the franchise. Cole played for the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 earlier than turning into a free agent.
Cole has commenced 73 of ninety four games performed over his six NFL seasons.Â
