Way Too Early 2016 Offseason...draft, FA talk

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Your right with the throwing shoulder, but if its injured, or something happens , then its tough, and theres ALOT going on in that joint so its easy to do.........mike adams, no excuses

Agreed. These athletes are given 2-3 months before OTA's even start so they should be putting in the time to get their bodies healthy. I can understand a tweak that's hard to heal, but someone like Adams showing up with what sounded like a pinched nerve in his lower back... Makes me think he was sitting in a La-z-boy chair playing video games all offseason letting his back weaken to the point he could hardly stand up correctly.

Already mentioned in the Media thread... But worth noting in here

Instant analysis of Steelers signing Robert Golden to a 3-year contract

No brainer signing. He's not flashy, but he's reliable. He will be capable of bridging the gap while they groom a youngster.

Some buzz about Foster getting done tomorrow....projected 3/15ish

Not only Foster... But rumors about Beach getting inked to PIT on a 1 yr deal is starting up.

That's good to hear, if true that should spell the end of Adams. I have a feeling we'll be in the same position next yr unless the long term offer comes back on the table at some point this year and Beach takes it.

Three-Years, $7.5 Million For Steelers CB William Gay Per NFL Network - Steelers Depot

Wow, was I way over on the Gay contract projection...if this is true...3/$7.5m? Gay will be under $3m per...Colbert has done great work. I have to think Foster will be in the $4 to 5m per, but they are making it back on Gay's deal....Good for William...good for PIT and that's what I expected a win/win deal.

Hot damn! That is a ridiculously good deal. Gay has always been a hometown sort of guy, and I never thought he would put a very large price tag on himself. But considering what other teams would have paid for his services... You get the sense that all the players are buyin in for a big run this season.

Not that this needs to be said... But Rapaport is about as useful as tits on a fish. He has a very long history of blowing smoke up everyone's asses.

DHB, Gay, Golden and Foster...3 starters and a key ST/4th WR...combined the '16 CH is likely to be under $10m for those 4 players...now I think at 4p today all teams must be under the cap so I'm wondering if C. Allen will make it to the Jun cut down so they can spread his deadmoney over 2 seasons.

The way this is going...Spence could even be back.

Remember what I said about the FA's?

I think the only 2 that I have the most confidence in staying are Gay & Foster. The rest are completely up for debate. I like DHB & Spence's chances of staying though.

I'm almost 4/4 on who I thought was coming back!

If I understand it correctly, they have to wait until AFTER 4pm today to release Cortez in order to make him a June 1st designation and spread that deadmoney out?

That sounds about right....the part that I'm pretty sure about is all teams must be under the cap as of 4p today. I think we all know that Allen is probably not going to make this team, so I'll let the powers that be figure out when it's time to release him.
