Give Khan his gold star for 2025 dead cap money. Ranked lowest in the league at $45,335

I have been upset with Khan on numerous issues, but I have to tip my hat to him for getting the Steelers to have the least dead money on their Payroll.

I was surprised to see the Eagle with the most dead cap at $59.9 million. This will probably be why the Eagles are not a Dynasty. When you are spending $60 million for players that are not on your team you are in trouble.

Wow, $45, 335 is just so far under most teams is just crazy. You have to add another ZERO, to get to the 2nd lowest team, and then you have to add another ZERO to get to the 4th lowest team the Chiefs at $2,084,515.

I guess the Steelers coaching style of not firing people until their contract expires, is the same as their Player style, of not releasing players until their contracts have expired.

 

matt canada says hi.

 

This tells me the Steelers don't have enough good players worth paying. Khan and Weidl have work to do. Tomlin needs to get out of the kitchen, but we know that is not going to happen.

 

This makes zero sense

Are you suggesting dead cap in anyway shape or for is good

 

No, I am saying if the Steelers draft picks in general over the last five years were good enough to get second contracts the Steelers would have more dead money, because they would have to cut or restructure contracts. The other reason is the Steelers have not had to pay for the $40 million QB over the past 3 seasons.

 

I am lost... What does a $40 million QB have to do with Dead Cap Space? Do you think Denver eating all of Russell Wilson's money in dead cap was a good thing for the Broncos?

Dead Cap is more about guessing wrong on Players, than anything else. Signing players to contracts they don't deserve and then giving them money when you have to admit you were wrong for ever signing them in the 1st place.

I love to bash on Khan, but on this 1 particular item, he is totally kicking ass. All the Steelers money is on the Field. Is that a line from Moneyball???
