Well… we started with about 35 spent a billion and still have 29?  What isn’t impressive about that?  You can not like the players but the financial maneuvering is pretty wild.

It’s not rocket science. Low cap hits this year with big cap hits next year 

and then every year this place wonder how we’re always cap strapped

OTC shows it as: $26,699,732

Spotrac shows it as: $27,791,607

Weird. Not sure how or why the article I posted is different from Spotrac because the report I posted said the following: *Cap information via Spotrac, as of 12 a.m. ET on 3/14

Maybe Spotrac was updated after the article was posted.

Aaron Rodgers' best offer is apparently from the Giants

Although we don't know yet where Rodgers will end up, we do know that his biggest offer is coming from the Giants, according to The Athletic. If Rodgers is making his decision based on money, then maybe he goes to New York, but it still feels like the Steelers are the leader in the clubhouse, or maybe there's no leader in the clubhouse. No one seems to know with Rodgers.

Currently 31 players on contract in 2026 with $89,178,390 in cap space per OTC. However, 5 of those players are just void deals and 2 of the players the financial terms of their contracts have not been disclosed yet.

So, we really aren't in great cap shape for 2026 at the moment. Lots more moves still on the table to see how it shakes out.

Looks like Spotrac is most up to date though it doesn't include the contracts for the following players: Rico Dowdle, Patrick Jones, Trevon Moehrig, Christian Rozeboom

They cannot afford to whiff on this Tershawn signing. He better produce for what they’re paying. I don’t believe for a second there was another team offering anything close to this

    • Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.  
    • With apologies to Lady Cowboy fan, any day we can screw over the Cowboys is a GOOD day…
    • Been here since 2014ish. Good times. Its a shame Zod wont sell, it wouldnt take that much effort to get this place back into shape.
