Ok, we've reached full circle, time to shut this place down. Nice knowing everyone.

i can't find it, either it was over multiple threads/convos or it got axed? or I am just bad at searching. I remembered a couple great pages of epp takes though

It started with epp bragging about him because he had a couple picks against an option team like Georgia Southern

I found it by searching "directional georgia"

Postby **MR25** » Wed Mar 31, 2021 4:47 pm

Had to use my "directional Georgia" comment to find it because this site cuts off any page higher than 5 on mobile search.

lol "Are you trying to be abtuse or are you really that stupid?"

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Wed Mar 31, 2021 5:12 pm

Time is a flat circle lol

Postby **tifosi77** » Wed Mar 31, 2021 5:13 pm

And what I like about the abtuse line is the post was edited, but that typo was not addressed.

lol "Are you trying to be abtuse or are you really that stupid?"

Or maybe I should be ocute?

That six-page stretch of that thread that ends with "Karl Joseph out for the year with a knee injury. Woof." is just *chefs kiss*

Mods really should have unbanned epp for draft weekend. We were robbed of content when he went in the 1st round

Postby **MrKennethTKangaroo** » Wed Mar 31, 2021 11:10 pm

I didn’t participate much in that stretch of genius, but I feel like I got a lot of bang for the buck

Postby **NTP66** » Thu Apr 01, 2021 3:39 pm

It's official.

Current projection is $7.9MM. Towards the bottom of the team profile.

a TIL that I wanted to share. The Steelers only need roughly 2.75 mil in cap space for the draft due to "roster displacement." Aka the guys they draft and sign will push 6-7 guys off of the top 51 salaries, and so the cap space effect is just the difference between the bottom 6-7 guys and the draftees' salaries. The bottom rung of salaries is currently $780K on the roster.

While true, Top 51 is no longer in place come week 1 of the season. Goes to the full 53 man roster, plus practice squad, injured reserve, dead money from cut picks, etc. So probably at least $2.5MM to that $2.75MM for two minimum guys that get bumped and the totality of the practice squad.
