but I seem to recall Ketchman always telling us how wonderful the Steelers are in managing the cap, and how we should emulate them in their cap mastery.
However, I am hearing the Steelers are the one team that is over the cap.
How can this be if the Steelers are cap masters?
I guess you could say that it has finally caught up to them. Pretty impressive actually.
This is what happens when you hold onto older players when you miss on your draft picks.

I don't recall him gushing over their cap management as much as their willingness to let first contract guys go in free agency, and their ability to re-fill those positions with other young players they drafted or signed UDFA that are able to fill in with no drop off.
They were able to do that in the late 90s and up to the mid 00s, but things have changed. Where they were good, they've gotten old. They haven't been able to backfill like they used to. Instead of keeping competitive after letting guys go, they've held on to some old players that have since dropped off, and haven't been effective in replacing the guys they did let go.

Yup. You said that much more succinctly than I did.

Great use of the Hans Gruber quote.

I've been meaning to do that.
I went to change it, image was too big, then backed out the change (or thought I had.)
I'm just too stoopid with this complicated stuff. Where's the Idiocracy manual for this blasted place anyway? Did you hide it again?
