As for how is it different, the Eagles are overly aggressive with what they want and go for it...almost with no regard for the cap (although clearly they have a plan) where as the Steelers free up cap space before making their minor moves. A restructure to a number of players (AB with more to come), a player or two released (Mike Mitchell) and then they appear look at the field and make their moves. Totally different frame of mind. Neither is wrong, neither is right but clearly, there are two different styles to roster management, cap space and free agency.
