[Psycho Ward 86]

Former Broncos offensive tackle Ryan Harris retires after 10 seasons

Time for Jerald Hawkins to step up. OL depth is Hawkins/Finney/Hubbard so far

Wow. I had no idea he had that many injuries from before. Good call on his part. I wish him the best. Looks like it clears up $2.2 million in cap space for us: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/pittsburg...n-harris-2508/

Should give the team an extra million or so. But honestly I didn't think his job was safe to begin with. Hawkins can be really good, had a great camp last summer, and played well in his first pre season game.


Tackle position: AV, Gilbert, Hubbard, Hawkins= A+

Harris retiring saves $1.9 million in base salary for cap purposes. $337,500 in dead money for the amortized bonus if that cannot be recovered

An article several days ago speculated Harris was likely to be cut

Harris, who will be turning 32 next month, is due to make a base salary of $1.9 million in 2017, and there is certainly no guarantee that he will be the third-best tackle on this team. The Steelers had a great deal more uncertainty at the tackle position, including at the starting left tackle spot, than they had a year ago.

That is a blow to the veteran’s value, especially if Hawkins looks to be the sort of player that they expected him to be.

At this point it's like getting pennies from heaven to save that kind of money on a player that isn't needed or relied upon anymore.

Not a big loss.
