can we stop over paying defense players?

    Wouldn't the Steelers have a terrible amount of dead money by making a move like this?

    Watt $23M
    Heyward $22M
    Ramsey $19.5 M
    Highsmith $18M
    Queen $17.6

    Honestly, I think we could get by without any of these guys.


    Herbig and Sawyer could easily take over at OLB.
    Ramsey, Heyward, and Watt ... old.
    Queen was overpaid in FA.

    Unless they can get the other team to pay his full salary. Even so your trading an old player for draft assets and getting younger v

    Adopt a pay for play process! Go ahead sign players under contracts however based on certain criteria within that contract year by year and game by game is how you will get paid! No more guaranteed money! You play like ****z you get league minimum! You ball out you get max pay per contract! Just thought!
