2022 Cap Ceiling: $208 million.

So if the cap number comes in at 208 mil, does anyone know where that puts the Steelers for 2022?

 

We're way below that number. About 75 million I believe. But TJ and Minkah will eat up a large part of that.

 

minka shouldn't on his 5th year option. his will come in 2023. about 10 mil. next year.

 

Why would these clowns agree to such a low number when they know the cap was reduced in 2021 because of covid?

NFL players union is the weakest in sports

 

They're not letting him play his last year and then risk hitting free agency.

 

$15.9M in 2022 dead money for Ben and JuJu's voidable years if neither is re-signed within five days of the Super Bowl.

Anyone else have voidable years starting in 2022?

 

Eric Ebron also has a voided year, about $4m, so $20m total with Ben & Juju

They are in quite a good place, they should have money for a good free agent or two, they will almost certainly need a Corner

 

Looks like that new TV contract and 17th game is a real bonanza for the players. eh?

 

According to over the cap we have 129+ million for top 51. /edit team cap space $78million

 

According to over the cap Ben’s dead money for 2022 is 10.3 million. Not sure how it all plays out with voidable years though.

 

Looks like we only have 44 players under contract as of right now.

 

Or they could franchise tag him, he won't hit free agency.

 

Ben is $10.3M, JuJu $5.6M. If they don't win the Super Bowl this year, this is a nice chunk of change that could have gone to the rebuild.

 

Marv, do you know how the cap works?

 

I don't know about him, but everytime I think I understand it all ,something happens, and I go...Hmmm.

 

same thing they are doing it with watt. Minka will be under contract next year.

 

According to over the cap Ben has a dead money hit every year until 2025?

 

We will need all draft capital/ salary cap to land the new QB (Sam Howell) and to pay our FA's
and players we want to keep.

 

Thanks for the info. You’re always on top of this cab stuff. Those voidable years just adds another dimension to the salary cap.

 

They're not letting Watt play out the year without a new deal, look for it to come around the time camp starts or shortly after. Gonna be a blockbuster.

 

That only happens if they're far apart of the extension, as they were apparently with Bell.

 

Those are the voidable years. If he isn't resigned within five days of the Super Bowl, they accelerate and the contract terminates. This is just the latest accounting trick teams are using to get around the cap.

Here's an explanation of JuJu's similar deal:
