What do they do with all that debt?

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

Correct.

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

That is correct.

The Pomp And Joe Show

I mean, Joe, I do think Omar will at least throw some feelers out there and see if anyone is interested in TJ, but it's a big ticket.

The Pomp And Joe Show

That contract is structured in such a way that

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

Um, it's 42 million each and every year like that.

The roster bonuses are not spread out like, like previous TJ contracts.

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

So you're actually on the hook.

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

If you're the acquiring team, you are on the hook for most of that contract, which, you know, may or may not be an issue.

to knock the Seahawks off their perch in the NFC.

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

Maybe they would do it, but there's probably, I can count on one hand, the number of teams who are probably willing to do that.

The Pomp And Joe Show

And then even if they are, you have to come to terms with what you would want in return for TJ.

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

Would you take a discount and say, okay, I'll just, I'll take a second round pick.

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

Would you do that if you're the Steelers?

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

That's the question.

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

Well, there was a time where they could not consider trading TJ because they didn't have the depth, but they have the depth now.

The Pomp And Joe Show
Best of The Fan: Porter throws Ben under the bus, Spring Training and Olympics!

So that's why I'm saying I think at least Omar at the combine here in about a week or so, I think he will at least listen to offers or put it out there that maybe they would listen.

The Pomp And Joe Show
