According to Overthecp.com, PIT is $1.2 million under the cap as of now. Of course Brown's $19 mil dead money is adding to a fairly healthy $26.6 mil in overall dead money is a big part of the reason.
While we can't rely on a website 100%, but they're probably not far off if they're off at all.
So...I was reading what I thought was more of click bait article suggesting Haden could be released. That got me looking at the roster and who might get cut and I came up with these notable names.
Artie Burns...cap hit....$3.0 mil...cap savings after dead money...$1.7 mil...I think it's win the starting job (highly unlikely) or be cut.
Dan McCullers...cap hit...$1.1...$1.0 saved...I think if Buggs shows them he can give them a few snaps as a run stopping NT big Dan will be gone.
X Grimble...cap hit...$2.0...saved $2.0...I know he's the TE2 and V Mac is not the most reliable health wise, but $2 mil is lot to invest in Grimble...if ANY of the TEs in camp look like they can handle the load, Xman is gone.
That's $6 mil in cap savings...Grimble is probably a reach, but I don't see how they could release Haden even if his $11.9 cap hit is awful high at his age....I can see them actually extend him to get that CH down if the were desperate.
Thoughts?
