    While I agree, they won't return, the restructure just spreads the CAP over multiple years. Davante is getting paid in full this year. Just the CAP hit is spread. And it is called "dead cap" if he is not on the roster. But it doesn't really play any role in whether to retain him or not. In other words, the difference between what you paid him this year and the CAP hit next year will be on our CAP in future year(s) regardless whether he stays or not. That already happened when we lowered his CAP this season to the number that's below what he actually got paid this season. We essentially borrowed from future CAP. It has no bearing on his contract guarantees beyond this year, which is 0.

    Now, because JD pushed a lot of CAP down the road to win now (well to lose now), new GM will be in a tougher spot to sign expensive players in general.

    Well I guess this means the Steelers will win this year's Super Bowl.

    Same. I'd take Michael Carter II and DJ Reed over him as well. Hell, Echols makes more plays than Sauce does.

    Bet he feels like a real moron forcing his way to the Jets instead of the Steelers or a real franchise.

    I thought the same at first but on replay, I think that ball was hit by the DB and Adams reached out trying to grab it…may not have been a drop would have to rewatch it

    hope he gave a really real speech about how he and his gf lost the game by dropping a TD then fumbling ball away in the RZ whenb we still had a shot
