Cap Class: Final Cuts

[Steeler Nation]

G.Stryker SteelerNation.com Cap Class is a series where I break down the cap to find the amounts associated with the roster, dead money, or future cost of players.

Ballparking, I'd say we're around $6-7M under the cap.

Isn't that a little more than the usual?

Yes, we usually keep 3-4 in space. Some of that will be used up for the PS, but not much.

And I got my numbers from OTC, where they have us at $3.5M under but didn't account for McDonald's restructure which gave us another $2M so we'd be at $5.5M before the Jones cut giving another Mil and change to $6.8 or so.

So the cap readjusted since we placed 7 guys on IR, if they reach settlement, the cap will drop again, but we lost about $3M in cap space from that, putting us at our normal $3.5M range. Thus the McDonald restructure.

Great write up Cope and thanks for your time on this. We typically run in that 3mil range but I see maybe the added room is insurance for durring the season if needed plus the carry over rule maybe a consideration. Is Kahn still the assistant cap manager or who is now under Cope within the STEELERS organization...(complimenting intent)
