Process Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 Oh and he's also getting paid $38M to not play for Denver. 11 Quote
Captain Hindsight Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 Good move for the Steelers. Wilson just has to be not horrible and they are a playoff team. For 1.2 mil, that’s a good bet 3 1 12 Quote

Process Posted March 11, 2024 Author Posted March 11, 2024 So is he literally counting for $1.2M against the cap for the Steelers, is it really that simple? If so what a deal for Pittsburgh.....yes he's washed but he's still 10x better than Pickett 3 Quote

Doc Brown Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 The Kenny Pickett pick reminded me of when we took EJ. Horrible QB class but they felt compelled to take one. 10 Quote

He took some truly horrific sacks and had some really embarrassing throwaways to keep his efficiency looking nice. Which, for a team like the Steelers, may still be an upgrade, but I didn’t think he was good. He was maybe top 25. Quote

Expand Really isn't very good is a major upgrade over what Pittsburgh has last season. And they are getting it for basically league minimum. 2 Quote
BuffaloRebound Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 Weird. I get that Denver is on the hook for $39m, but if I’m Wilson I’d want the Steelers to commit more to me than the vet minimum. Steelers can move on or cut him if he struggles at all without thinking twice. Quote

Maybe he thought the Steelers were the best bet to knock them out of a wild card spot Quote
GoBills808 Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 Is he even allowed to be paid that little lol 1 Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 He just needs to be pretty good and they are a SB contender. Stellar defense, special teams, and coaching already. They have the receiving threats too. And with arthur smith calling plays, they have a competent play caller. Quote

Steelers can move on or cut him if he struggles at all without thinking twice. Expand His contract is a dollar for dollar offset, so he doesn’t get a penny more of actual money unless he gets paid more than $39 million. The part that isn’t offset is the salary cap, so “earning” more would only hurt the team’s salary cap. 3 2 Quote
