Steelers Could Be Looking To Replace Larry Ogunjobi
1 min agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers are scheduled to have the NFL's highest-paid defensive for the fourth straight season in 2025 but can save $7 million of defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi's $10 million salary cap hit by cutting him this offseason, according to The Athletic's Mike DeFabo. Since joining the Steelers in 2022, Ogunjobi has only reached double digits in QB hits once while also playing through multiple injuries. It's a stark contract to him recording double-digit tackles for loss and QB hits in three of his first five seasons in the NFL before heading to the Steel City. DeFabo thinks that regardless of whether the Steelers actually cut Ogunjob, they'll be targeting a younger, less-expensive defensive lineman early in the 2025 NFL draft. The 30-year-old Ogunjobi missed two games with a groin injury in 2024 and finished with 41 tackles (16 solo), 1.5 sacks, five tackles for loss and seven QB hits in 15 games (12 starts).
