Keisel’s future with the Steelers is uncertain. He has one more year on his contract, and carries a cap number of $1.75 Mil in 2015. If the team released him, they would create $1.5 Mil in cap space. After replacement and displacement, the savings is less though.

“Da Beard” had surgery in December to repair a torn triceps. The team placed him on IR on December 1st. Before the injury, Keisel was playing some good football. While it took some time to get to full speed, he ended up with 1 sack, 12 solo tackles, and 9 stops throughout his 451 snaps in 2014.
