That’s a heck of a lineup.
Krow, regarding the cap, you do have to be careful with that “massaging”. It will catch up with you down the road. All the “tricks” really boil down to pushing cap hits into future years.
Teams like the Redskins did it for years and people always wondered how they could keep doing it. The reality is, they could keep doing it because their moves never panned out. They were constantly cutting those big ticket guys two years later and signing more of them to these same types of deals (they couldn’t afford to actually give them “this year money” because they were still paying for the guys they already cut).
The moment this plan falls to pieces is the moment some of your moves actually work out and you want to keep some of these players. Only you can’t afford to keep your roster intact because it comes time to pay the piper.
Basically, those tricks are useful for short term “all-in” runs. When you decide you want to push for a Super Bowl in the next 2-3 years and damn whatever happens after that (inevitably it’s purging the roster and “rebuilding”).
I am of the opinion that recent NFL history has demonstrated pretty clearly that this is a bad move. First, it doesn’t guarantee a win. Even dominant 16-0 & 15-1 teams fall like everybody else come playoff time. It seems that “getting hot” in January is far more important than having the most stacked roster.
So, what’s the best way to give your team a chance to “get hot” in January? By being in position to play in January year in and year out. Some people call “10-6 then 1 & done every year” mediocrity. I call it giving your team a CHANCE.
I’d much rather constantly have the opportunity to roll the dice than wait 5-10 years between chances in exchange for having hypothetically better odds on that one roll.

In this way of thinking, you sometimes lose a player like MM. It hurts and definitely hurts our chances of winning. But it helps us win long term. It does require very good drafting and low level free agent pick ups.
Great post jfunk. You are absolutely right. The Steelers are a great example to prove your theory. They have a lot of very good high priced players and while they are frantically trying to restructure to get “under” the cap, they are in cap purgatory. Initially, I thought the Steelers had to just restructure 3 players, but now they are restructuring 7-8. They are in an un-enviable position, an “old” team with cap struggles.
I loved this SB XLVI video you guys posted on your FB page:

In particular, there’s this really great clip of Rocky Bernard crying while he embraces Coughlin at about the 9 min mark. Good stuff right there.
I’ve heard Mara say on many occasions he does not like back loading contracts, but it might be different now with the cap getting a sizable increase in the next few years.
TT is one of my favorite players. I hope he’s healthy and they can work out a deal.
And I’d love to see Jacobs go play for the “fat boy” he so lovingly taunted. Glad he’d consider playing for them. Wonder if the feelings mutual :)
In reference to the previous thread:
With more of the offense running through Eli and the stud receiver corps, why is 111/game on the ground not fantastic? With Eli playing elite like he was, you’d want to take the ball out of his hands? No way. Gilbride had himself a run there and, intelligently, featured the pass.
Because we will see more two-deep coverages, like in the super bowl, to take away our down the field passing game. We are not a ball control offense like the Patriots, and we are not built to sustain drives consistently without a run game and without our deep passing game. You don’t want to have to be in 3 receiver sets all the time.
Plus, our short yardage offense stinks, so those third and shorts turn into shotgun formations, which limits what we can do there.
With the type of offense we run, it just limits what we can do against the good teams.
The -and-1 running plays suck because there’s zero imagination with Jacobs running straight ahead – the days of plowing forward for 3 yards have disappeared with the likes of Wilfork not moving backwards.
I maintain that I’d rather get the ball to a guy who can run virtually untouched downfield than a guy who has 8 guys trying to tackle him at the LOS. It’s where the league is heading. I’d rather run *more* 3 receiver sets.
If they only pass out of 3 receiver sets and only run out of power sets, don’t you think that’d be a little obvious?
Lastly, Victor Cruz more than adequately moved the rock in a short passing game in the 1st half against SF.
So defenses spend most of their time trying to make opposing offenses one-dimensional. If I read you correctly, you’d like to make their jobs so much easier, and just do it for them. If we actually had a running game that was at least somewhat reliable on 3rd and 1, or in the red zone, you could run some play action and increase your chances of converting.
And how many yards did Cruz gain in the second half? Last I looked, games were 4 quarters. We couldn’t go anywhere against that defense.
TuckThis:
That’s what I think as well. This may be one of the rare occasions where you can rationalize pushing salaries ahead due to the bump in the salary cap that’s coming. However, with the cap increase will probably come a general increase in average salaries as well, which may end up eating much of it.
Diehl is actually pretty cheap. He’s a versatile OL starter. Granted if he loses his job then it all changes. But paying $4 mil for a starter … with 2 Superbowl rings … isn’t particularly expensive. The notion that he’s overpaid is really a myth.
PFT with a timely post on the Pittsburgh Steelers cap woes:
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/15/roethlisberger-harrison-may-restructure-contracts/
But restructurings merely push today’s cap problems into the future, driving up a player’s cap number in subsequent seasons and forcing the team to continue to deal with the issue. At some point, the Steelers need to take pay away from players, either by cutting them or reducing their pay under the threat of a release.
Part of the problem, as pointed out Tuesday, is that one of the Steelers’ best players has no contract for 2012, because of the Steelers’ prior habit of signing all draft picks taken after round two to three-year contracts. With the elimination of the restricted free agency tender that holds a guy in place for a one-year salary of less than $3 million and sets compensation if he leaves at a first-round and third-round pick, the Steelers now have to consider paying Wallace $9.5 million or so for 2012.
Krow:
Plus, Diehl can play multiple positions.
Latest mock draft at National Football Post:
http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Mock-Draft-30-8948.html
“32. New York Giants: Stanford TE Coby Fleener
As if this offense needs another weapon on it. However, Fleener has the ability to be that every down type “on the line Y” who can create down the field and at 6-6, 245-pounds has the size to mature into a very capable blocker.”
You sure that’s not Travis Beckum’s evaluation?
Unless he’s got the frame to put on another 15-20 pounds, you might be right.
jfunk … you’re right. I’m not suggesting irresponsible cap behavior. Just pointing out that there are moves teams can make … and options they can employ. Of course you can do them to an excess. But all teams “restructure” on a regular basis. If you’re a GM and you want ‘a guy’ then usually there’s a way. If you want 5 guys … well then you’re screwed.
