Ouch. It will maybe be about 400,000 more than last year.
This team has major cap problems.
How would you solve them?

Based on 2012 performance, there are plenty of players that should take a pay cut.... starting with Woodley, then Ben Roethlisberger, and Willie Colon. Mendenhall should not be offered any more than top 15 pay. Harrison and Troy should consider restructures. Hampton should not be on the roster unless it is vet minimum.
Yep, the Steelers will be 29 million dollars over the cap. Here is a list of the Unrestricted FA for the Steelers:
Will Allen
Baron Batch
Charlie Batch
Plaxico Burress
Larry Foote
Ramon Foster
Casey Hampton
Brandon Johnson
Justin King
Byron Leftwich
Doug Legursky
Keenan Lewis
Ryan Mundy
Leonard Pope
Mike Wallace
Rashard Mendenhall
Max Starks
Greg Warren
Al Woods
Restricted FA:
Jonathan Dwyer
Steve Mclendon
Isaac Redman
Emmanuel Sanders
Stevenson Sylvestor
Josh Victorian
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

The big question is who can save us some money?
The savings have to come from vet restructures and cuts.
