When his new contract hits, they will be paying Pig Ben, Brown and Bell around 35% of cap money, which is getting into dangerous territory. They are going to have to let other key players go. Just like Detroit when Megatron, Suh and Stafford got to something like 37% of the money between 3 players, the team suffered. Same with Flacco in Baltimore. It will be interesting to see who gets released in Shitsburgh when Bell gets his new deal.
People have been saying this about the Steelers for years...and it never seems to affect their play on the field.
They've won atleast 10 games since 2001...11 times. They've won under 8 games...exactly 1 time.
Over that span, we've won atleast 10 games 6 times. We've won under 8 games...7 times.
Yeah we have a clean cap and they push the boundaries...but really which team is paying the piper for it?
