Steelers currently sit $4.14 million under the cap

after the restructuring of Hampton. They can sign their draft class with that, maybe. The time might be coming to do you know what.

They had more until they tendered 9 restricted free agents I believe.

If manning doesnt work out and smith keeps the pen away from paper then we might as well go with Kap and try and get wallace with that extra cap space and a Guard. Question is what will it take and how much would you give Wallace?

Sounds like they'd have to make some cuts just to match any offers to Wallace... what do you think?? Would a 7-10 million cap hit this year put the Steelers in a tough enough spot to let Wallace go??

Also a lot of it comes down to Wallace as well, would he want to leave Pitt for more money or play on his contract now and resign a new deal with Pitt. I think i have heard he really likes playing in Pitt. But will money talk?

I have heard the same but he also said, this is a business and you have to do whats best for you and your family...

say we do get manning would we be able to afford wallace too? I'm thinking not?

 

[Ray_Dogg]

No. We also wouldn't need him.

1 step forward, 2 steps back

I'm surprised the Steelers didn't just cut Hampton. He's older than dirt, and he just tore his ACL.
