Hurney freeing up cap space. Extension coming?

That's not smart on the GM's part then.  Why free it up now by moving it forward making it harder to free up next season.

If this move isn't about this season, or an extension right now, it's a bad move.  And likely is a bad move either way.

That’s why I like to wait and see what he is going to do with it before I bust blood vessels over it. Like I said, only one of the restructures concern me and I’ll wait and see what happens next before I freak out. Everyone has a panic attack when any moves are made and they do not know the reason right away....it will come. Wait until then to be upset or happy about it

Restructures bug you the same way they do me.

Just not a fan of kicking the can.  I typically like the way the Steelers pay their guys.

I don't see anyone in a tizzy.  More of a cautious look from the corner of our eyes.

If you were here for Hurney 1.0, restructures should make you nervous.

It was reported it that the moves were made to push extra cap space into next year.

Doesn't necessarily have to be an extension or an acquisition. Could just be freeing some space if needed.

That said, two things:

1) This is how we wound up in cap hell under Hurney the first time

2) Hurney extensions make me really nervous

It wasn't really the extensions per se, it was god-awful, gross overpayments to aging players.

When I see someone who did something badly once doing the same things they did before, it makes me nervous.

Not you in particular freaking out, but you know how the huddle gets down.

If he is there to make those moves next year is yet to be determined so thanks Marty

Hurney seems to be much improved with regards to contracts. Why not give him the benefit of a doubt?

A restructure now makes no sense unless you're planning on bringing someone in and need to free up space.

 It’s pushing money and decreasing cap space into the next two years. If he created 13M for this year, it’s an avg of 6.5M off 2020-21.

Based on what has he improved?

I think it was just get a cap cushion for once. But we shall see.
