#Steelers will be back in black in Cincinnati again this year. Hopefully they’ll cover some receivers this time.

[Cincinnati Bengals @Bengals]

Get ready, Who Dey Nation.

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

At this point, the #Steelers may be waiting until the 53 is close to final before doing a restructure (presumably DK). If a couple of Harrison, Echols and Rudolph are cut, they may be able to squeak by without doing a restructure.

All three #Steelers preseason games will air nationally on NFL Network for out-of-market viewers.

Thursday Aug. 13 vs. Green Bay

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

Of the #Steelers last four extensions of drafted players on rookie contracts, here are the percentages of contract value paid out in the year of signing:

Darnell Washington: 25%
Alex Highsmith: 24%
Pat Freiermuth: 23%
Nick Herbig: 20%

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

Nick Herbig appears to have sacrificed some cash flow and guarantees for a strong average annual value. #Steelers

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

Definitely expecting to hear about a DK Metcalf restructure before they break for summer. #Steelers

[Burt Lauten @SteelersPRBurt]

Sources: Alex Highsmith is not present today at practice due to an illness but will continue to be at the practice facility as he has been all offseason. Confirmed by me.

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

The “just trade Watt instead” comments here are ridiculous.

Watt is not movable until at least the trade deadline in 2027. It was an awful contract. They blew it. But they’re stuck with it. #Steelers

[Andrew Fillipponi @ThePoniExpress]

Hypothetical trade:

Alex Highsmith

To Kansas City

For a 2027 2nd round pick

Would you make this deal?

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

A stab at Nick Herbig contract terms:

Signing Bonus: $27.5m

Base Salaries: $1.17m, $13m, $15m, $15.5m, $15.5m

Spring Roster Bonuses (2028-2030): $5m, $5m, $6m

Cap charges: $6.8m, $18.5m, $25.5m, $26m, $27m

Cash: $28.7m, $13m, $20m, $20.5m, $21.5m

#Steelers

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

T.J. Watt’s contract is probably not movable until during or after the 2027 season. #Steelers are stuck with that, but glad it didn’t convince them to let a promising young player walk because of finances.

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

A franchise tag for Nick Herbig after the season would have cost about $30m per Over The Cap. And he wasn’t signing a long-term deal #Steelers after the season before free agency.

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

They absolutely should make this offer.

The problem would be that the Cowboys would have to be held at gunpoint in order to get them to accept it.

#Steelers

[Andrew Fillipponi @ThePoniExpress]

The Steelers should offer the Cowboys TJ Watt for the Packers 1st round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

If the #Steelers are below .500 at midseason, Alex Highsmith is good as gone. But we’ll see how the rest of the summer goes.

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]

DK Metcalf restructure likely on the way. #Steelers

[Steelers Cap @SteelersCap]
