Looks like we are in great Cap shape for next year. I expect that the Steelers are going to be doing some creative maneuvering to be able to trade up for the QB of the future in the 2022 draft. This years draft was more about getting ready to support the young QB come and trading away the farm to get him next year....JMO.
With $75 million in cap space, expect Watt and Minkah to get large extensions.
JuJu was probably smart to wait until next offseason to get a longer/bigger contract. Conversely, this just shows how dumb Steven Nelson was; if he had just played this season, and then extended after the season, there would have been plenty of money for him.
I looked at that very first also. With the rest of the AFC North looking to be $40M+ to the positive, the Browns may get lapped at over $8M to the negative.
The Texans may be in even worse shape in their division.
It will be tough for the Bills to keep pace with how the Dolphins are doing right now too.
AFC West are dominating the money pool. Good thing we have a smarter GM.
The other thing is that it puts the team in good position to be ready to get Ben's replacement. If Ben plays great this year and is back again next year...fine. But the way this is setting up, they drafted some good skill players and some developmental players while also having a ton of cap space. If they move on to Ben's replacement, the next QB is going to be surrounded by weapons and be put in a position to succeed. If there is enough room, they can even acquire a quality FA or two to really strengthen the roster.
If this draft works out pretty well, they are in a great spot going forward.
The Steelers with cap room, I don't think I've ever seen that lol
