    Re: Steelers To Release Jonathan Scott

    if we dump will allen and johnson we would be at 8 mil. a nice little buffer. i read on steeler depot that we have some type of vet reductions left of 1.5 mil. each. i believe there are 3 left. not sure what these do or how they work. that's another 4.5 mil..

    we have over 9 mil. of dead money right now thats factored into that cap space. ouch. :cool:

    I believe that's from Additional Salary Cap Room in Section 5 of the CBA. It's 3 players at $500,000 each though, for a total of $1.5mil. The players have to make $500k over the minimum, and have to have had 5 or more accrued seasons by last July. It's not really a credit in the sense that we just defer that money as a cap hit spread over the 2014-2017 seasons however we choose. That's my understanding of it.

    was that from last years cap carry over amount? there was some allowence that they could have used it all last year or carry some of it or all of it this year? i thought that was a two year only credit. i dunno , there are alot of little loop holes they have given teams in this new cba. thanks for the info TTF. :cool:

    Last year it was a little different. It was a million for each player if their salary was at least a million over the minimum. The 'payback' of the credit was the same though, spread out through 2014-2017. I don't recall us actually using this last year though, but we may have.

    You are correct though, to my knowledge it is only available for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

    He'll be nothing more than a Lions camp body. On second thought, he should have been a Lions camp body for us too.

    really ? I think its a miracle any time a lineman actually sees a loose ball
    he looked ok a couple times at right tackle
    but at left tackle it was either holding or beaten so bad he didn't have a chance to hoid
    I think this means Adams has looked good in what they have seen of him since we know Max is not ready to play yet

    Update to this, Colbert said this morning that they do intend to use the three veteran credits this year.

    Snack, if you'd take scott on crutches over max, then I'm really worried about you. Hopefully you were busting somebody's chops. Right?

    Yes. I would take Starks on crutches over Scott fully healthy. Thankfully, the team agrees with me.
