The Steelers have reworked Donte Jackson's contract, saving the team around $4.5 million in cap space.
Under his new contract, Jackson is guaranteed $4.75 million and now carries a $6-million cap hit, down from the initial $10.5-million cap hit the Steelers absorbed when they acquired Jackson in the trade that sent Diontae Johnson to the Panthers.
Jackson was on the South Side last Wednesday, which is when negotiations began between he and the team, per a team source. With Jackson's deal reworked, the Steelers have an estimated $15.6 million in cap space, according to OverTheCap.com. That number accounts for all of the roster moves made by the Steelers over the past week.
