Lost is using a large bit of hindsight in his analysis, but with regards to Upshaw at the least, Upshaw was widely regarded as a top 15 prospect by the media and viewed as one of the best pass rushers in the class. Personally, I didn't see the pass rush; I thought he'd be an amazing run stopper who bullied tight ends and set a mean edge. Hey, turns out that's what he did...
With regards to Jeffrey, Jeffrey was by no means a great prospect. If you were watching just film, sure, he was great. But Jeffery was widely regarded as lazy and having a horrible work ethic. He couldn't keep his weight under control to save his life. Then, there was the fact that he had a down year in 2011 and just decided to sit out his senior season all together. Couple this with questions about his speed and ability to actually separate at the NFL level and you had a recipe for Kelvin Benjamin before Benjamin was even a thought in the NFL.
And I say all that as someone who wanted Jeffery.
nope
his cap hit is 26.5m - but there's 16m guaranteed prorated signing bonuses still to pay so if we cut or trade you take the 16 away from the 26.5 and you get the 10.5m cap savings
if we were to cut him after june-1st (unlikely) then the dead money would be half in 2019 and half in 2020 which would make the savings 18.5 in 2019 but we also wouldnt get those savings to use in free agency or anything so it seems pointless

All the signing bonus cash has been paid out to Joe actually, it's just on the books now.
yeah that was misspeak - i meant we're still on the hook for it but we wouldnt be paying him any new actual cash post-trade or cut - all his guaranteed money is in the signing bonuses so his base salary is completely non-guaranteed

Playoff Picture ... to me, after week 14 begins the time you can start trying to break down the rest of the season to see how things must break to make the playoffs. The dust has settled and I'm afraid that bullshit hook and ladder crap that got Miami the game could prove deadly. MIA has the Vikes this weekend (who are playing like shit right now), the Jags who may have completely thrown in the towel and the mighty Bills. Even if the Vikes wake the fuck up and win this game - it is out of conference. If we lose to LAC and tie with them at 9-7, they will win on conference record.
And what if they win them all? They will be 10-6. That forces us to win out to get to 10-6. It would seem that, since we currently hold the 6 seed, that we'd win that tie-break. But that's not necessarily the case. This situation is in place only because we lead in common games - but they are yet to play Buffalo. Once they play them and beat them in this scenario, they will be tied with us in common games. After that, it will come down to strength of victory and God knows where that puts us - but the fact this crackpot win came against NE is going to help MIA's strength of victory a lot.
It is just feeling like that wild card spot is tenuous, largely because 2 games this past weekend DID NOT go our way: MIA over NE and IND over HOU. It presents a situation where it would appear sweeping the final 3 may not guarantee anything.
So we must then really hope PIT continues to crumble and drops games to NE and NO. Then - even with a loss v LAC, the division is ours. Looking at the landscape, that is not only our best option, but perhaps our most likely option. So fuck this wild card shit and lets see Shitsburg GO DOWN.

I agree, that's the most likely scenario for us to see the playoffs. Silver lining - Steelers don't make it at all if it pans out like this.
on top of this there's a very realistic chance that if we beat the chargers we will have won the division that weekend without even playing the browns...
And I can see this happening
