Are we done in free agency?

Thoughts?

I would still like to see Timmons extended and another couple of guys brought in. That still leaves us 7 million once Woodley goes away.

5 million for rookie class
2 million for in-season moves.

Use his 4 million to really get us where we need to be.

 

Hopefully the off season still has one more thing in store... a long term contract for Worilds??

 

they still have room to bring guys in without restructuring timmons...which i would like to see...they have woodley off the books june 1

 

Yeah...I said extend, I meant restructure. That would free up another 4 million or so and with displacement, it could be a couple of guys, especially if they are vet min type contracts.

 

They are done with free agency because they don't have anymore salary cap space, there maybe a few contract restructures or extensions still to come Worilds I hope.

 

If they want to make more moves they can and will...we'll just have to wait and see.

 

steelerdepot.com implied that due to displacement, we could potentially bring in a guy at the vet minimum without any restructures or extensions.

 

Timmons was in the mix to get his deal restructured in order to clear cap space.

 

Not a follower of the cap, but wouldn't restructuring Timmons just push more money to the back end of his contract? I don't like that, as that's part of the reason we are always in cap conundrum. I'd rather he get close to the end of his current contract and sign him to a new deal, rather than back-load his current. There isn't much out in the FA field that is worth messing around with our future finances for, anyway.

Just leave things be and pick up some scrubs in July and August.

 

I suspect Keisel will get signed in June, and then if there are any surprising cuts by other teams we might consider those as well.

 

Scrubs like James Harrison.

 

how? with no money? unless you know something the rest of us dont.... maybe a vet min type guy... harrison vet min ? but i think he wlil be after june if at all .. not sure how you think they will and can make more moves if they want?

I think the best deal we made in this off season, was hiring Mike Munchak for our Oline coach...

 

Just like some have already said...they do still have cap space to potentially sign a few guys at min levels...and if that wasn't enough and theres someone else they want/etc...then they could work on extending or restructuring (as a last resort). Instead of saying the same thing as others have i just answered the topic of the post...if they want to they can and will. I personally wouldnt be shocked if we see a couple more moves leading up to the draft.

 

we may grab a punter.

 

bring back Berger

then

cut him on a post-it

 

a courtesy phone as he arrives at the airport.
