Per the NFL's internal cap report, 10 teams with least space as of this AM.

1. Chiefs $555K
2. Patriots $2.80M
3. Saints $9.02M
4. Steelers $10.64M
5. Falcons $14.28M
6. Packers $14.80M
7. Cardinals $15.71M
8. Ravens $17.42M
9. Niners $19.49M
10. Rams $19.65M

10 mil still enough room for one or maybe two additions.
 
What ya thinking Slash, maybe restructure DeCastro and Tuitt for some more money and possibly try for a Robbie Anderson or Jameis Winston possibly?

I’d be interested in seeing if Breshad Perriman would be interested in a 1 year incentive laid contract with a club option for 2021. Looked good in Tampa even with being lost in a deep depth chart. 2.5 million with incentives for 1k, 1100, 1200, 1300+ yards, 5, 6, 7, 8+ tds. Make it where he can make 10 million with incentives and if he does he’s going to get paid.

Robbie or Perriman (who wouldn't take a restructure he should come cheap)

I would like a G or T brought in. We lost two experienced options, I would like to even that out a little.

I hear yaz slash but I would've want to keep just a little for in season catastrophe. ALSO don't we have to sign draft picks and UDFAs outA that as well? I'm all for another quality OL but also don't want the bank drained dry as in case of emergency, then break.






Salute the nation

How much is left over depends on who is picked up and for how much. Draft class won't be expensive without a first round draft pick. Steelers will keep if I remember correctly 3 mil for any seasonal issues. So if they need more money they can lower Dupree's hit by signing him off the tag and or extending Heyward and Decastro.

None of the cap values online are correct. None of them have Ebron's contract, or all of the restructures.

https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/pittsburgh-steelers/

If I'm going off of the numbers, Ebron is about $6M Dangerfield should be about $1.8 so $2 is accurate. That's another $8M. Steelers would be at $750k Need moves to get the $4.3M for the draft and $3M for injuries. More restructures will be needed to get the team down.

Just remembered the rule of 51 will push another $1.3M in the Steelers favor so instead of $750k, Steelers should be around $2M under the cap before the draft. Depending on how Ebron's contract is written, some more might open up But I would see the cap at best being $4M and worst being $2M

Looks like another restructure or two then. Or an extension or two.

I am pretty happy with the Watt and Ebron signings. I wouldn't be upset if we were done in FA till training camp.
 
extend Heyward 3 years the market has been dry for Ro bbie make some inquires he has the size that we need at 6"3 210 to complement juju with Jonson and Washington in the slot who on vertical seem routes can burn you.
If not just extend heyward bring in a cheap vet #5 wr like Sharpe or Dorsett and use the rest to sign the draft class, and keep monitoring Winston as a 2 yr back up deal.
Draft rnd 2 target LG Kindley, Stenberg, could be a Faneca like run blocking beast Jackson Ohio ST versatile, can play C as well Bredeson plug and play as well as Lemiux and Lewis
rnd 3 I look at WR like Claypool 6"4 4.48 a possible clean Bryant, Jonson 6"6 4.55 perhaps a Buress ceiling Pittman any WR I look here I want with size as everyone aside from juju is 5"11.
adding Ebron will really help in a empty set where you can flank Ebron and have vance work the back of the end zone or flat.
rnd 4 NT Futu old school 34 true coke machine
4 S Hudson Blazing fast neer the L.O.S great read and react can be used t in those corner blitzes or Snake S blitz.
rnd 6 some center depth
 
Might not be a need for a 4th WR with Ebron on the team. He makes a lot of red zone catches split out on the edge.
 
Beyond the Steelers, the Pats have 2 million of room and no QB. HMMMMMM

I think they got hit with a lot of dead money, and I wonder if they plan on tanking this year.

Nothing with them would be a shocker.

They signed Hoyer back again.... Some of their own players have been praising Stidham as of late.... maybe they wait and see how that pans out
 
I think this rookie class will be less than 2M after contracts displacement, that tells you how much more a 1st rounder earns compared to his peers
 
Personally I would love to see them sign a ILB for depth. I thought they should gave kept Barron.
 
maybe after the draft bring barron back at vet min, gets a chance to start and is cerian to play high amount of snaps for contender unless Gilbert beats him out.
