Cam restructured. Steelers must be working on something...

It doesn't make any sense and it probably is just someone throwing it out there....
I didn't say anything about trading Bell I was talking about next year and his salary being off the books..

 

Yep. We are picking somebody up, not just maintenance.

 

Also, remember that if Bell decides he doesn’t want to show up, every week he misses a game, that’s another $900k more that can be added to our salary cap.

But that would only matter if they don’t do something now and do it in season.

If Bell holds out and Conner impresses, which he should with our O-Line and skill players, I could see the FO pulling off a trade for Bell in season with even more cap room.

 

Part of me thinks everyone is getting way too excited about the possibilities while part of me thinks we probably do make a big(ish) move. #CONFLICTED

 

Can they extend Bell once he signs the tag??

 

I don't think so. They should extend their middle finger.

 

Well I agree but legally can they

 

who is out there that we can sign?

I think we are looking too much into it lol


edit:
breaking news Jarvis Jones has been signed for 20 million WTF?!

 

No. A long term deal had to be done by mid-july. This year he has to play under the one year tag. He can negotiate again at the end of the league year..

 

Well looks like Conner might start regardless

Vontaze Burfict???? Think about it. It almost makes sense. Well almost. Talk about heads exploding.

 

Omg. I don't know how I'd feel.

 

Safer

 

Hell. No.

 

i'd take burfict in a heartbeat. they're actually freeing up this money to give Bud Dupree a long term deal in the realm of 40-50 million according to the rumor mill

 

That's kinda like saying, when you flip a coin, part of me thinks it's gonna be heads, but the other thinks tails, no?

 

That better be a horrible joke lol

 

The hell? This better be a sick joke. We won't pay Bell but we'll give Bud Dupree a long-term deal worth that much? No way in hell.

 

Yeah talk about a happy / sick feeling.

 

You forgot the green font.

 

I'd take Burfict before I gave Dupree that money

 

How about let's not pay either of them. Dupree has one more year to prove himself. If he doesn't improve and deliver at OLB, Steelers should move on.

 

Agreed. I'm just saying if forced to do one or the other...

 

I figured it out. I don't know how I missed it ...."obviously" we are signing 5 more Safeties to complete the set....

 

Just make the damn deal, damn'ed if we do damned if we don't
