Possibly to move money for AB

 

money for the steelers fans site?

 

Can his coverage skills be restructured into something more team friendly too?

 

I wonder who the Team is targeted? They must be getting some money for someone they want to sign.....Any cap guys out there no where this puts us..

 

i read 7M under

 

Maybe to extend AB?
They're making room to do something?

 

I could see them extending AB, but they need to make it a long term deal, I think a 6 year contract would make it a cap friendly deal, for example, 6 years at 75 million, a 20 million signing bonus prorated for 6 years is 3.33 million, leaving 55 mill in salary, they can pay him 7 mill a year in salary for the first 3 years with a 10.33 mill cap hit, leaving a back loaded balance due of 34 mill over the last 3 years which would be a 14 mill cap hit for those last 3 years, which they could renegotiate if they wanted too, but the fact is he would be locked up for 3 years at a 10.3 mill cap hit, AB gets his highest paid receiver status and the steelers get a cap friendly deal......

 

Except for the fact Colbert already said they aren't extending AB with 2 years remaining on his deal.

 

What they say and do are two different things, if they do resign him this year I can hear colbert saying we decided to resign AB now because waiting another year to do the deal would cost us a lot more money, we wanted to get this behind us now.......

 

DeCastro extension is taking longer than I thought, the media is saying the deal Osemele got from the Raiders is the sticking point.

 

AB isn't getting a new deal, they may advance him money like they did last year but that's it.

 

beer run?

 

WANNA BET!

 

YES PLEASE
