Cap Class: Should the Steelers Keep Vance McDonald?

[Steeler Nation]

By 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. Dollar amounts and cap costs may not be exciting, but they can be interesting when you look inside the numbers. I will place explanations inside of […]

Nice write up again "G", even though the article is football........ YOU hit it out of the park.


Having it better explained with actual cap numbers, it makes good sense to keep VANCE and I hope like hell he puts several stiff arms on the opponents as he did to the one guy.




Salute the nation

What about just giving him a two year new contract extension lowering his cap hit?

Agree, I say keep him another year and see if he stays healthy. Looking at the cap numbers that makes the most sense.

The final say about Vance's permanence will be on Ben, if he thinks he is a good option as a receiving thread Vance will be kept .

I also think he has proven his value as a blocker, he is better than anyone else in the roster so he really can help in both Offensive dimensions.

As stated in the article he’s only missed 3 games in the last two years.

Yeah if they can keep him at a reasonable contract, absolutely. Good hands and can run over people if the QB gives him space, which no QB did last year.

I thought for sure he was gone. No questions until I looked at the numbers, and the cost to replace him as a starter. You are not going to touch the athleticism for his cap hit next year, and Ben needs weapons.

I'd be fine with Vance, CSW, and Gentry going into next year. An upgrade can be had in the draft, if the right person is there, to push CSW & Gentry (and Rader).
