i would expect bens deal to be announced today

[squidkid]

its a foregone conclusion that it is getting done. no reason not to have it done today so we have extra money to start signing guys tomorrow.
i am curious what are cap space will look like after bens restructure, pouncey and fosters deals , left over from last year and possible cuts today

I don’t know the rules of a restructure but Ben has a $23M cap hit. I’d assume a restructure could lower this big time. They currently have a little over $16M in cap space.

Yeah..that's the goal; to lower the hit. But their being really blazay about it. No urgency. So I have to assume there's no free agent their burning to get. Hope I'm wrong.

We’ll see. It’s still very early. Technically FA hasn’t even started yet.

[Oh wow]

I doubt we rush to sign anyone until the gold rush slows down.

Would be real surprised if we made a huge FA signing tomorrow.

"the gold rush"...I like that. Hilarious. So,....who's out there that you've still got your eye on in free agency? We are supposedly interested in Roby; that would be a simi huge signing for us. I like the safeties that are still available.

thats the last number i saw also but doesnrt take into account pouncey and foster and AB. (i saw where we actually paid some extra trade tax money to ship him off)

i doubt we do either but once again the steelers are acting like they have an interest in a splash FA (tate and roby.) those guys are gonna be 10+, i would imagine

Steelers are already cap compliant so theres no rush to do anything unless they want to shoot their load on a high priced FA

didnt colbert say they were gonna make a splash?
once again, if its a lock to happen, why not have it done so there is money available?
makes no sense.

[pittpete]

FA doesnt start until tomorrow

We might still have added millions by cutting Burnett, Bostic, and resigning Gimble.... and Ben's restructure.

There has to be a reasin why Burnette hasn't been released yet? In works for a trade, he would be a steal, considering how much this years S are making.

And by letting Dupree test UFA.

[pittpete]

Dupree can still be cut by tomorrow guys

The way the market is going, Dupree 's 9 million might be considered a decent price for a starting olb pass rusher.
