It's crunch time for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they assemble the best 53-man roster they can before Tuesday's deadline.
And while they may have just lost one player, they gained a fair amount of compensation, first reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Media:
A Bunch of Pick Swaps
Dotson was a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and is coming off a year that saw him start in all 17 games for Pittsburgh.
A left guard who struggled to generate any momentum this offseason, training camp, and preseason, Dotson was already relegated to a backup role following the offseason addition of Isaac Seumalo, but now Pittsburgh has gotten return on investment:
In all, the Steelers only took a $164,703 hit in dead money, cleared nearly two million in cap space, and got back a fourth and fifth-round selection for a player that wasn't even going to touch the field if all goes to plan in 2023.
Safe to say the "Khan Artist" is settling in at General Manager.
