Workouts, looking for new deal.

It could be the reason the Steelers have been bringing in many wr for visits.

Not surprised at all considering Torrey Smith and Pierre Garcon make more than him now

[Steelhere10]

I hope the Steelers don't play hardball, and pay maybe a back loaded deal.

f. him.....

[Steelhere10]

I just read his guaranteed money is ranked 27 worst in the league or the lowest, maybe he does have a point.

i'm sure if he keeps producing he will see all of the money in his contract that he agreed to play for

Very disappointed if AB goes this route. He is one of the thre or four best WRs in the NFL but his cap hit for 2015 is also over $9M so he can't dry poor.

The problem is other teams like the Dolphins pay a bum like Wallace stupid money that distorts the whole system.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

its all wallaces fault!!!!

So if he wants a new deal, how does it effect the restructure he JUST did last year? I hate these restructures because it pushes money into the future and it's guaranteed money. If they work out a new deal, is that guaranteed money from the restructure still owed and on the books?

[K Train]

his average guaranteed per year was like $1.7 million

people scoff at this so hard, but he gave the steelers elite production for two cheap seasons after they bet on him with the new deal (that he hadnt really earned at that point)

The restructuring is irrelevant. they wont negotiate a new deal with 3 years remaining...they may extend and reallocate some of his already due later salary into bonuses more up front but the "pushing the money" argument is a dumb one

Once the bonus money is given, it doesn't go away...

That's what I thought and why I hate restructured contracts. He probably deserves a new deal, but they screwed themselves by restructuring his last one.

yeah, I didn't make that connection at all until I heard this news but that's undoubtedly why the Steelers have been hosting so many potentional first and second round WRs...

No they didnt, especially since the deal ended up being the bargain of the decade

They got the cheap deal, were able to make it even more flexible with the restructures for two years...now they will probbaly pay him the 10-11 million he deserves rather than the 6 he is getting now
