The Steelers lose players because they are at or over the cap...and they restructure deals to get guys.

The Bengals lose guys when they have lots of cap space...and tell fans it's so they can re-sign future free agents. Until those free agents want market value...then they let them walk.

Even with a Top 5 roster and playoff success in their sites...they didn't bring that free agent or two in to put us over the top.

Is the goal to have cap space every year or is it to win a Super Bowl?

The Steelers ended 2016 $6.2 mil under the cap.  The Bengals were $5.1 mil under.  Now, the Steelers have had some years where they were only $2-3 mil under, but we're talking an average difference pet year equivalent to one Andre Smith/LaFell/Minter signing.  The Steelers have also hurt themselves by not allowing themselves enough cap room to get a long term deal done with Bell, who is playing FT chicken with them this offseason, and lost Timmons, Jarvis Jones, and Wheaton this offseason.
