Steelers Not Going On Spending Spree Even With No Cap

Posted in Life on Feb 15 | 1 Comment »
With next year being uncapped, some might think that the Pittsburgh Steelers will go wild and spend tons of money to keep potential free agents or bring in new ones.
Come on guys, you should know better than that. The Steelers are going to be conservative and treat this year as any other, which makes me happy. All I can say is that you can’t argue with results, right? By the way, do we really want to be like the Redskins and throw money away year after year?

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Friday that they will abide by their self-imposed salary cap during the 2010 season, while the rest of the league will presumably go wild and throw money unreservedly at a fairly middling free agent class.

The team’s GM/director of football operation/other jargony NFL title for team executive Kevin Colbert said the move is a preventative measure, one to keep the team from hurting itself by overspending on players only to find itself undoing that spending if a deal is made on the labor situation and a salary cap is reinstituted (even if that is unlikely to happen before next season starts).
