2014 Salary Cap---we should be fine

Ive got a strong feeling Troy will not take a pay cut and thus won't be back... its millions of dollars in reduced salary for these guys...some people have a hard time distinguishing between our fandom and the fact that these guys have no ties to the team other than it is their employer..most guys that play for them didn't grow up with a terrible towel or steelers fans....

I teach in a school district that is super into High School Football... I really could care less about how the team does because I have no ties to them other than some were former students and I would like to see them do good... If they told me to take a pay cut to stay or go somewhere else and make the same thing...of course I am going to make the same and go to the new job

Ike based on his recent comments might take a pay cut... but when it comes down to it again...millions of dollars...


AB would be the only guy I restructure ....

I would extend Miller and obviously Ben, but I would also keep foster... the line has finally had a bit of stability and keeping foster to the couple million dollars they would save would not be worth it.


I am torn on foote... a straight cut would only save around a mil...since hes under contact for next year he might be more valuable on the team and really who else right now would be there to replace him... Williams??? not so sure on him just yet

 

The problem with Worlids is the market... would you want to pay him 7-8 mil a year...because from what I am hearing that is what he is going to get because the market is so down on OLB...and i am willing to bet not until march 20th or so will we know...thus woodley wont be designated post june 1 cut until they know

 

to be fair i was one of the most bashing worilds till the middle of the season , now i see a guy that can be good for us , but i would never pay him more than 5 milion a year

 

If Worilds leaves I would think the team will have to keep Woodley, because there's no adequate replacement.

 

so in your last year before retirement, you would uproot your family and move to another city for one year of teaching instead of taking a pay cut to finish where you have been your whole working life? especially after they have made you a multi millionaire. a lot of people wouldn't do that. ike has already said he would take a pay cut and he knows he would have to at this stage of his career. foster is not very good on the move and doesn't mesh real well with this group and offense as far as what the offense wants to accomplish. that's a mil. and a half savings. foote is a mil and a half savings also and he's not all that at this point in his career. heck yes I'd go with Williams and garvin and add to it. if troy wants to leave, so be it. 8 mil will go a long way.

 

if it cost 7-8 mil to keep worilds then he won't be kept. I don't think he will bring that type of money. if he does then some other team must have a lot of money to blow. I think we offer somewhere around 3-5 mil. for him. that's quite the increase from his 630,000 he's making now. carter would be kept and we may draft someone then. if Woodley can't stay on the field we will need guys anyway.

 

did you think anyone would pay mike wallace 15 mil a year?

hes going to get in the 6.5-8 mil a year range...someone will pay that for him...go look at his competition in free agency

 

Foote will be 1.1 mil saved if cut

foster 2.3 mil saved

 

what does what mike Wallace does have to do with worilds? big,big difference. I'm sure Miami is very happy overpaying him. we can't and won't.

 

My point is that you would have never paid 15 mil for wallace..but someone else did...

you are undervaluing the $ worlids will get...he will be in the 6.5-8 mil a year range...someone will pay that... and that will be his rate based on the lack of pass rush OLB in FA this year.... and there isnt much...

 

Unfortunately, in the past the THEY have been US. LOL
