At least everyone else is in the same boat. It's going to depress the FA market a lot. Which considering the FA's we have leaving might actually help them afford to keep some who otherwise would get a huge payday.

Agreed. Just saw that some sites were predicting Hilton to sign for a 3yr $12M deal... Which is absurdly cheap for what he should make.

$4M per year? For a top 3 slot CB?

And then, why move on to another team when he can get a similar deal here?

Letting them test this market might actually work out to help keep some of these FA cheaper.

Hard time believing he'll sign for anything less than $8 per. Tavon Young, Kenny Moore, & Justin Coleman make between $8-9M per. That's the FLOOR of his asking price this offseason.

But if no one can afford to offer it, he either has to sit out, take a 1-year deal, or accept that the salary cap crashed down and the market is different than last year.

Understandable, but looking at this list... NFL 2021 Salary Cap Tracker

There are at least 15-18 teams that could afford him. And at least half of those teams could use a slot CB upgrade lol.

There will be other players out there who want their deals too. Plenty of FA's. More than usual because teams can't even afford to keep their own right now.

Just saying, it might turn out really well for the Steelers.

I know they can't afford to go after either of them, but the Chiefs just released both their starting tackles. Which is crazy. Eric Fisher is really good.

Ruptured achilles from the playoffs means he won't be GTG right away next season.

The cap situation going down like it has, instead of up, is just a blood-letting for so many teams.

Steelers sent the house to Clemson. When Tomlin and Colbert both go to the same pro-day, it's significant. Canada was there, too.

With Etienne and Carman being the targets there, IMO.
