With a cap number of $8,390,000, Villanueva who will be 32 this September, seems to be in decline.
2019 was not a good year from him. He drew 8 flags, and gave up his share of sacks. The problem is besides him, there isn't a proven player who can play left tackle.
Translation, the Steelers are in some trouble. No way should he get a new large contract for 4 years or more. Maybe a 2 year deal, if the Steelers come close to making or win the super bowl this season.
If he lost some quickness, which could be the case, he can move to Right Tackle.
While fans point to Ben needing to be replaced soon, Left Tackle could become problem #1 for 2021. The OL has mostly been ignored. Pouncey is getting up there, so is DeCastro. You can only kick the can so far...
