The Pittsburgh Steelers are carrying a significant amount of cash with them into the NFL's new year. Pittsburgh will carry over $18.2 million in salary cap space into the 2019 NFL offseason, the sixth most money among NFL teams. The Cleveland Browns ($56.5 million) are carrying over the most money, followed by the Indianapolis Colts ($49.1 million), San Francisco 49ers ($35 million), Tennessee Titans ($25.6 million) and the Houston Texans ($18.8 million). The Los Angeles Rams are carrying over the fewest money from 2018, as the NFC champions are carrying over just $466,000 from the previous year.

Most of Pittsburgh's cap space is a result of the team not using Le'Veon Bell's franchise tag after Bell declined to sign the tag that would have paid him about $14.5 million in guaranteed money last season. The Steelers are expected to extend Ben Roethlisberger's contract this offseason. Big Ben, who has just one year remaining on his current contract, has expressed interest in playing well into the next decade.

The Steelers are also looking to make a splash in free agency. The player that Pittsburgh may target in free agency is Baltimore Ravens' inside linebacker C.J. Mosley, who is set to enter the open market after playing under his rookie contract each of the past four seasons. The 17th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Mosley earned his fourth Pro Bowl selection in 2018 after recording 105 tackles.

After making the playoffs as a rookie, Mosley and his teammates failed to make the playoffs each year from 2015-18 while watching the rival Steelers make the playoffs each year during that span. Mosley took great pride in helping Baltimore get back to the playoffs last season after a 4-5 start to the season. Mosley also helped keep Pittsburgh out of the playoffs in the process, as Baltimore edged the Steelers by a half game to earn the AFC's fourth playoff seed.

"At the end of the day, you need something to drive you, whether it’s naysayers, whether you want to excel at something you’re good at, that you’re not good at," Mosley said following Baltimore's Week 17 win over Cleveland (via ESPN.com). "But at the end of the day, to be great, you have to have something that drives you. Being one of the middle guys on this defense, being one of the leaders on this team, and trying to get your team to the Super Bowl is always going to drive me. Just that stuff, and just negativity outside our locker room, that’s always fuel to the fire."

After helping keep Pittsburgh out of the playoffs this past season, Mosley may be enlisted to help the Steelers compete to win Vince Lombardi Trophies for the next several years if the black and gold can sign him this offseason.
