reminder, Samuel just signed a 3 year/ 34 mill deal. 

they overpaid Rhule's Robby IMO.   And now there are high odds DJ Moore walks away.  The better younger WR on the roster.  That doesn't seem smart. 

Robby and Samuel arent comparable.   If anything I think it proves the opposite of what you think it does.

Not a huge fan of the deal. Like it even less if it means losing DJ.

Actually if you look.  I’m not sure it will effect this.

DJs rookie deal won’t end until after 2022 and new deal wouldn’t kick in until 2023.

Robby’s deal ends after 2023.  So only 1 year you’d have to puzzle the cap

 The Steelers are paying ONE WR 9M this year. The rest are one rookie deals. And they let JuJu test FA before paying him that. Not nearly the same. 

The Steelers are also an INSANE outlier when it comes to WR development/scouting. They literally always have filthy young receivers on rookie deals that they drafted and developed.

How much guaranteed?

29 mil means nothing if it's only like 17 guaranteed.

I appreciate Robby. He’s not a 15 million dollar receiver. He’s a 3-4 sturdy will do in a pinch receiver. He’s not a generation talent, he’s not an elite receiver. He’s a 5-8 yard out route will catch. 

Bull! Sh¡t!

[Panthera onca]

Excellent news. LOL at all of the chicken littles thinking this will prevent a deal with DJ.

Someone keeps pointing out we don't know the structure, and that's very true.  That may go a long way to giving room to sign DJ next too.

Yeah and it is extremely easy on a DJ extension to have his cap hit in 2023 be very low. This deal actually makes it more likely we keep DJ than if we had extended Robby for longer.

This is true.

Just under 15 mill isn't generational talent or even IMO elite talent at WR. It's high end quality starter money. That's what Robby is...

He’s not. He’s a low end quality starter that’s really a 3/4 stringer in any other teams NFL.

I think if this deal was intended to affect their plans for DJ then they would have done longer than a 2 year extension.

Also probably some incentives baked in there, the initial number reported is always higher than the real number. Wouldn't be surprised if his cap hits are closer to $12-13M/year (on average, I'm sure the structure will be different).
