Interesting article on the Cap situation.

good article. If we sign Worilds for $8 mill a year then I am going to declare myself eligible for the draft. Figure I can touch at least one QB a year while he is laying on his back after tripping on an O lineman. I will sign for league minimum.

Maybe while he's on the training table pre game. Check out what might be available.
 
Good article but when he says the Steelers did a good job in signing their free agents with their contract structure, he is ludicrous. Allen and Mitchell have good size price tags and will cost us a ton if we cut them. Those contract structures were the biggest and both suck. Sure, you can "save" a million bucks or two but you can't sign a decent replacement for that. And, there is no way I pay Worilds $8 million. Again, you don't pay someone that kind of money just because you don't have anyone else on the team. Based on how he has performed, he is worth $4 to $5 million, at best. You could put incentives in there to boost his pay but I would not give him $8 million base.
 
They are well structured because after next year cutting them will leave the team with practically no dead money. Wait one more year, if they don't improve you cut them

Yes, but they suck now. I'll give Mitchell the benefit of the doubt because he was injured. Although, he needs to get his head on his shoulders and stop taking stupid penalties. Now, Allen was just bad this year. They put him on IR to free up his spot because he sucked not because he was going to be injured the rest of the season. We can only hope both of them come into camp and next season and play like they are getting paid to do. If not, our secondary will continue to suck.
