The steelers are currently over the cap by about 3 million (for 54 players) but I think they sign the bathroom bandit to a long term deal and drop his cap number substantially, Curly hair queen polumalu retires (3.5 million savings) , Cam Thomas (2 million savings), Heath Miller gone (2.3 million savings), cameron heyward signed to long term deal (thus getting about 3-4 million in cap space) So between polumalu, miller, thomas, and heyward they save about 11 million putting them about 8 million under cap and then reworking bens deal probably gives them another 5-8 million. I also saw how they spent 10 million to franchise Worilds, why wouldn't they spend lets say 4-5 million per year on mcphee and structure it in a way that his cap hit is extremely low, ala dumervil with Baltimore. Not to mention , at the end of the day these guys are playing for their next big $$ deal, they rarely if ever care who its coming from, and Pittsburgh probably won't be able to throw the most money at mcphee but who knows.
