ChampYINZ;783580]It’s time. CUT Ben, pouncey, any high priced vet let Villanueva walk. Stink for awhile and rebuild through draft. Window is closed. Officially.
Coach, the window has been shut for years.

Any year you make the playoffs, it's not shut. The team will make the playoffs this year.
Here is my pre-combine first mock draft.
I'm guessing we will pick between 23-24
Round 1 ) QB Trask A rapidly improving player putting up some impressive numbers in the SEC. Ben retires, we pick up 40 million in cap space.
Round 2 ) Harris. This would be a great pick. A big back with speed and catching ability
Round 3 OG Leaterhwood. Big and strong, he'll give the running game push. Can play RT in the pros. Plays LT at Alabama. Best suited for guard in the Pro's.

Round 4. WR Anthony Schwartz. 6 feet tall. Has legit 4.27 speed.- 4.34 speed. A gamble pick.
Round 4 ) Projected Comp pick. TE Polijan. Very tall. Good hands. A former QB Upside left to fill as a blocker.
Round 6 ) Projected Comp pick C Morrissey. All ACC. Team captain at Pitt.
Round 7 ) BPA Safety
Round 7 ) BPA Developmental OT
Round 7 ) BPA ILB
*There is a chance we'll get another 6th round comp pick for losing Matakevich.

Where are you magically finding this $40 million? The actual number is much closer to 19, so not the financial windfall you are selling.
Been said by numerous people on here for years, the Steelers will not win another SB as long as Tomlin is the HC. Wash, Rinse, Repeat...every year it is the same story
I will bet you NONE of your first 3 picks will be around when it comes time to pick in each round.
I don't know about Trask. Would rather have Wilson if he drops or maybe even Mac Jones. And while Najee Harris would look great in Black and Gold, Benny Snell Football showed me something last night - I think he may have gotten faster this year. IMO we need a playmaker at TE BAD and that's the direction I would go in the second if Friermuth drops to us. Would love Pitts but that's a pipe dream,. We'd hoped we got that in Ebron but he has pretty much lived up to his stone hands reputation, and the Vanimal is just a blocker. Gotta fit some Oline picks in early as well.
The + 40 million is if Ben retires. We pick up that much in cap space.

That doesn't include the dead money that we will not save. The Steelers only save 19m. if Ben retires.
Ben's cap # next season is 40 million. If he retires we pick up 40 million in cap space. If we cut Ben, yes we only save 19 million in cap space. I said Ben retires.
A-okay now?

21M of next year's cap hit is the remaining portion of his original signing bonus. The money is paid but the accounting is not complete. There is no getting around the 21M hit. It is money already paid.
