Unlike many speculative Burgh scribes, Schefter typically knows what he is talking about.
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.
So why not cut him now so they are free of his cap hit next year?
How much dead money next year?
Why not bite the bullet and take the hit this year and free ourselves of the dead money next year?
Tomlin: Let's unleash hell and "mop the floor" with the competition.
If Woodley isn't a post June 1st cut, his cap hit would end up higher than his cap number...you might as well just keep him on the roster...
I know he's been hurt but I can't help but think cutting him is really going to bite us in the ass.
Round numbers by my recollection:
If pre June 1 he would count approx $13M against the cap, which he is scheduled to count if he stays on the roster.
If post June 1, he counts approx. $5M against the cap this year (savings of his $8M salary) and approx. $8M next year (remaining portion of his pro rated SB with his restructuring factored in.)
Yea if true, it does not make a lot of sense yet! Maybe they are thinking let him hit F A market and then get him back with a new contract, IDK if they can do that, I am just hoping what ever they do that it makes some kind of sense down the road!!
