I thought no that frees up about 7million per multiple reports I see on Instagram...
And so it begins! Cam Heyward restructures.

So basically you salary cap gloom and doomers, we have about one more contract probably Tuitt's to tweak and they will be salary sap complient.
Sure hope Heyward is even able to stay healthy to finish his contract. He certainly isn't young by any stretch. Steelers doing what they always do, kicking the can down the road.
I just bought a new F-150 I totally cannot afford. Put 40K on my Credit Line and 37K on my Mortgage. Time to celebrate!!!! Wait a minute. I didn't cause I'm money smart.
The steelers just refinanced their 2010 Mercedes, to buy a 1997 Caddillac Coupe Deville that still drives nice .
Considering we're $150M under the cap next year, we can kick all the cans we want!
That doesn't fit the salary cap doom and gloom-ers narrative. I'll be right
back going to look outside and see if the sky has fallen yet.
$150M!!!! **** I was unaware of that. Then yeah, extending Ben's cap hit doesn't look so terrible anymore. That also leaves us with a LARGE roster to fill too however.
It's nice to say but the way we handle the cap, we'll be lucky to be under at all next year. Watt and Minkah will have new contracts. Ben will still be hitting that and we will have to sign another No. 1 QB, which could be Rudolph. Plus, we have countless players this year that are FA's. We will need to fill a lot of holes this year and/or next year. That $150 million will go up in smoke. Guaranteed.
Next year will be business as usual. I am more concerned with the QB position and coaching than I am with the teams ability to manipulate the cap and draft.
Minkah will not get a new contract until next offseason I believe, Watt's new deal won't have a huge cap hit until 2023 probably, Mahomes signed that huge contract before the season, but he played this year under his rookie deal still with a cap hit of only 5.4 million, and next year his cap hit is only 24 million. So Watt's new deal isn't going to to mean immediate high cap numbers for him. Hopefully we can draft a QB next year, I doubt one falls to us, and I don't see us trading up to #13 like CBSSPORTS has us doing. If we can get a QB in round 1, you get him for 5 years at a low salary.
Everyone says the 150 million in '22 thing. what they are not telling you is that includes 17 players. Must be iron men. Not Steelers.
And they will keep who they want to keep and let go who they want to let go for the most part. Sask you know their routine by now they will sign and free agent fill and draft well.
Yup, Steelers still have to fill that roster the following year. with that money, they are signing whoever they want, including a possible vet stud QB.
Brady, Brees, Mariota are a few. Darnold...

Impossible I am told it is time for fans to jump off a bridge. They same regurgitated **** we will hear 5 years from now same **** we heard 5 years ago. Get out your calendar.
Tuitt I read a month ago will restructure same time as cam Will restructure as well that just leaves Ben and maybe Ebron and Haden could be extending another to lower this year's cap hit is aging but crafty vet so way Jarvis would have been able to do whatever he wanted as well Diggs and Simms in the Washington game as when Sutton replaced Haden Sutton could not hang in there. Can ask Vince to take a pay cut to convert into performance bonus aka games played and total tackles and bonus for TFL and sacks. I like Spillane but Vince brings a certain intensity and is a much better Blitzer. I am going to start looking at some late to mid rnd ILB that are 3 down who run in the 4.4-4.5 range to play next to Bush if Vince is cut. and Spillane is a 2 down in coverage he cant hang with the afc north TE's
I'm confident that Dupree and Juju are players they would normally like to keep, but both are cap casualties to the kick the can down the road model the Steelers are using.
You
You can thank Covid for that.
Not sure I get that one. So you are saying they let those guys walk because of cap restrictions from covid? They franchised Dupree. He was not coming back. He bet on himself. They never allowed players they liked to get to UFA in the past. They would normally have signed Juju prior to camp last year for sure. Instead they drafted his replacement.
And I'm pretty much done arguing this. The reality is WE WILL be back right here next year and the Steelers will be paying for performances in 2022 that they received in 2021. If you think that is a good model ok. I do not. If you think it has been working, I fail to see it.
I thought it was 170M, but yea...17 Players. I keep pointing to that too.
next year we have Minkah and TJ as FAs
that $150 mil could be gone quickly.
