    They can still void his contract for what he did do to stipulations in the deal, correct? Anyone know where I can find that info?

    NFL salary info online, the legit kind, is harder to find than Bigfoot. Thanks in advance.

    1. Our problem is not having a #2 and #3.
    2. DK contract is insane and good numbers are not there to support his contract.

    So steelers don't want to trade and no team would want to trade for him.

    Steelers need to take a WR in round 1. Or trade back and take two with their first 3 picks.

    Unfortunately steelers came out saying they will not void it. So that makes it clear to me they don't care about his numbers he put up.

    Hopefully steelers know they need to take a WR with the #1 pick or trade back and take two with their first 3 picks.

    They need a secondary player that can be a game changer. Not a fan of picking receivers in the first round. Especially in today’s NFL. They are long overdue there from the draft.

    If the Steelers can unload his cap#, it would open a ton of cap space to 1 ) sign our free agents for 1-3 years and 2 ) sign other team free agents. I wish we could trade him for those reasons. I shake hands on the deal for a team's 3rd round pick.

    DK's is overrated as a player and has no focus. He might not recover for his fisting of a fan. This man has issues outside the lines

    We're stuck with him. And the Steelers are fine with it.

    How do you make that determination?

    We are experiencing a regime change, and Metcalf is grossly under performing and is overpaid big time on the salary cap.

    We may be stuck with this bad investment due to the scarcity of talent on the Steelers at Wide Receiver and the dead money amount if he is cut.

    Which is why I say trade him for something, getting an extra 3rd round pick, AND having that team pay for his cap#.
