At the moment they have around $7M in cap room according to Over the Cap. They could clear room if they need it by extending BRoeth or by working out a long term deal with Worilds.

While I am looking at it- the Steelers next year have 50 players signed for about $117M. They might finally be past their cap issues after this season. Happy days are here again and they've gotten there without turning themselves into the Jags.

Fear not: Todd Haley believes that the receiving corps is "as deep a group as I’ve been around from top to bottom".

"It's like you get to a point: 'Why me?' Like, I didn't show my loyalty?"
Why you? Because you stunk last year and if you hadn't taken a pay cut you'd have been released and there would have been no market for your services.
